drop squad kitchen

heritage, legacy, & flavor

Drop Squad Kitchen has been redefining plant based culture from the ground up for over a decade, pioneering as Delaware’s first vegan restaurant. Our work lives at the intersection of food, humanity, and innovation, rooted in ancestral knowledge and expressed through modern plant based practices.

Through Drop Squad Institute, our practice becomes progress. We share culturally grounded techniques, history, and hands on learning. What we create is designed to be used, studied, practiced, and passed on, ensuring continuity across generations and kitchens.

Participants engage in guided learning experiences and receive supporting learning materials that extend practice beyond live instruction. This allows the work to continue at home, in real kitchens, at real tables, in real life.

Drop Squad Kitchen, as the anchor program for Drop Squad Institute, represents living food culture and the future of food. Powered by plants, shaped by heritage, and guided by the belief that flavor and integrity belong on the same plate.

“The food here is amazing..It taste like the real thing, and Im not even vegan.”

“Y’all have the best vegan food I’ve ever had and I’ve been a lot of places. I just got back, settled Delaware and back to getting takeout from you. On my way to work in Wilmington once a week, I missed it so bad.
