Through the pop-up market, customers can also order six different kinds of [meal kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/celebrity-experiences), which come with recipe cards. Some of the available options include The Chef's Board meal kit, complete with cured meats, a baguette, premium cheeses, plus fruit and nuts, as well as The Raw Fruit & Veggie Box, which shares 20 lbs of fresh produce. Knowing that families need entertainment just as much as they need nourishing food, California Pizza Kitchen also created The Kids Build-Your-Own Cheese Pizza and The Kids Build-Your-Own Pepperoni Pizza kits.
