It's a scenario that predictably plays out on almost every house-hunting reality show. A potential buyer tours a home with great looks, ample space, and high ceilings, only to discover that the kitchen hasn't been renovated since the home was built in 1952. It's a small detail that can kill a real estate deal as quickly as black mold, but a dedicated home seller can fix it with a few tricks — and without having to knock down a wall. “An outdated or 'disastrous' kitchen can kill a potential deal before a buyer even takes 10 steps inside the home,”…

Hub Kitchen opened for business in July, but you probably didn't even notice. The shop at 7225 W. North Ave. in River Forest (formerly known as La Parrillita Mexican Grill, or Gossage Grill if you're a longtime fan) is a rental commercial kitchen and culinary incubator, so it's working behind the scenes to nurture future food companies.
