SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. — Cascade Kitchens, the first food hall in South Lake Tahoe, is set to welcome two new restaurants on Friday, March 13. Say hello to The Slice Shack and Frankie’s Tahoe! These two spots add even more flavor to the growing list of local vendors at Cascade Kitchens.
The Slice Shack is making the leap from food truck to a permanent location. Known for its New York-style pizza with a California twist, it has gained a loyal following in the Lake Tahoe area. Expect bold flavors, crispy crusts, and slices that keep customers coming back for more.
Joining the lineup is Frankie’s Tahoe, a bakery by local pastry chef Caitlin Thomson. Named after her Italian great-grandfather, Caitlin brings over 25 years of culinary experience. She specializes in cakes, pastries, and desserts designed for celebrations or everyday indulgence. Frankie’s is all about high-quality baked goods crafted with fresh ingredients, perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth.
The addition of these two businesses aligns with Cascade Kitchens’ mission to highlight local food talent while providing a welcoming space for the community to gather. According to a recent survey by the National Restaurant Association, consumer interest in supporting local businesses has surged, reflecting a trend where diners increasingly prefer unique, local dining experiences over large chains.
Guests are encouraged to stop by Cascade Kitchens on Friday to explore what these new restaurants have to offer. Food trends show that community-based eateries are becoming the heart of urban areas, and these new additions are part of that vibrant movement.
