Chainsaw

About the offering

Chainsaw LA is a Los Angeles-based culinary project led by immigrant chef Karla Subero Pittol, known for inventive pies, unexpected ice cream flavors, and intimate garage-style and fireside pop-up dining experiences that celebrate her Venezuelan heritage and the LA food scene. The project began in a garage and has grown into a well-regarded underground dining venture, with features in notable publications including The New York Times T Magazine, The New Yorker, LA Times Image, Eater LA, Edible LA, Chuck Magazine, Toothache Magazine, and The Infatuation. Chainsaw LA sells pies at local cafés, hosts collaborative dinners, and has built a loyal community following. The business is now transitioning toward a permanent, fully equipped culinary space while maintaining its DIY, community-focused ethos. The Regulation CF debt offering on Honeycomb seeks to raise between $50,000 and $100,000 (the campaign reached its $100,000 maximum from 83 investors) at an 11.25% interest rate over a 36-month loan term. Funds will be allocated approximately 70% toward commercial kitchen equipment and refrigeration units to scale pie and ice cream production, and 30% toward start-up capital covering staffing, permitting, ingredients, packaging, and event infrastructure. The overarching goal is to grow intentionally, remain independent, and continue delivering intimate, imaginative food experiences reflective of Los Angeles's diversity and energy.
