Mike Curtin, Jr. joined DC Central Kitchen (DCCK) in 2004, taking over as Chief Executive Officer of the country’s first community kitchen from founder Robert Egger in 2007. He came to the organization after a 20-year career in the hospitality sector that included owning and operating his own restaurant, The Broad Street Grill, in Falls Church, Virginia. Drawing on that industry expertise, Mike has grown DCCK’s social enterprise portfolio into thriving initiatives that generate more than $10 million in annual earnings, allowing DC Central Kitchen to match every donation it receives with earned revenue.

While directing DC Central Kitchen’s front-line response to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, he also drove a successful transition to an iconic new headquarters in southwest DC. Now the nation’s most ambitious community kitchen and urban food hub, The Michael R. Klein Center for Jobs and Justice represents the fulfillment of Mike’s vision for the role nonprofits and social enterprises can and must play in inclusive economic development models that generate lasting community returns.
