洛杉矶首届家庭厨房周11月9日开幕：70多家持证家庭厨房参与
加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县公共卫生局宣布，首届「洛杉矶县微型企业家庭厨房周」（LA MEHKO Week）将于11月9日至15日举行，全县70多家持有许可证的微型企业家庭厨房（MEHKO）参与，从兰开斯特到洛米塔，各家在活动周内至少开放两天，并推出一款特别菜品或专属优惠。
活动周的免费启动仪式定于11月7日（周六）中午12时至下午3时，在南洛杉矶的 Earvin "Magic" Johnson 休闲区（905 E. El Segundo Blvd）举行。居民可通过活动官网 mehkoweek.com 的互动地图查找参与厨房的位置、菜单与营业时间。
MEHKO 是加州法律设立的小型餐饮业态，允许居民在自家住宅厨房里经营小型餐馆。按现行规则，一家 MEHKO 每天最多供应30份餐食、每周最多90份，且餐食须在当天制作、当天售出。洛杉矶县的 MEHKO 许可计划由县公共卫生局负责发放与监管（帕萨迪纳、长滩与弗农三市由各自市级卫生部门负责），本次活动周正值该计划实施两周年。
活动周由 COOK Alliance 与县政委员 Holly J. Mitchell 办公室、县公共卫生局及县经济发展局共同呈献。据县公共卫生局介绍，洛杉矶县的 MEHKO 计划近期在县政府第39届生产力与质量奖中获得特别优异奖，表彰其在推动安全、多元与包容的食品经济方面的成效。
First Los Angeles MEHKO Week Opens November 9 With More Than 70 Permitted Home Kitchens
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health in California has announced the first LA MEHKO Week, to be held November 9 to 15, with more than 70 permitted Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operations (MEHKOs) taking part across Los Angeles County, from Lancaster to Lomita. Each participating home kitchen will be open at least two days during the week with a special item or discount.
A free kickoff event will be held on Saturday, November 7, from noon to 3 p.m., at the Earvin "Magic" Johnson Recreation Area, 905 E. El Segundo Blvd, in South Los Angeles. Residents can find participating kitchens, menus and hours on an interactive map at mehkoweek.com.
MEHKOs are small food businesses created under California law that let residents run a small restaurant out of their home kitchen. Under the rules, a MEHKO may serve up to 30 meals a day and 90 meals a week, prepared and sold on the same day. Los Angeles County's MEHKO permit program, run by the Department of Public Health — except in Pasadena, Long Beach and Vernon, which have their own health departments — marks its second anniversary with the event week.
MEHKO Week is presented by the COOK Alliance together with the office of Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell, the Department of Public Health and the county's Department of Economic Opportunity. The county said its MEHKO program recently received a special merit award at the county's 39th Productivity and Quality Awards for advancing a safe, diverse and inclusive food economy.
