"Anna Kamilis, an industry veteran who worked with Gibsons Restaurant Group, opened the Outpost Mexican Eatery and, not being open on weekends, offered her kitchen to vendors orphaned by Politan Row after spotting community posts; she framed the gesture as mutual aid—“A lot of us can’t survive.”—and hosted Polombia as an indefinite pop‑up with no formal contract while they covered utilities. The Outpost’s success prompted the landlord to invite another tenant to pop up next door (at 518 W. Harrison Street) and interested chefs were encouraged to contact Kamilis." - Ashok Selvam
