Chef Anthony and I first met doing what we love most — designing, planning, and hosting elegant, high-end events at the beautiful Barnsley Resort nestled in the rolling hills of Northwest Georgia. From the very start, it was effortless — a perfect pairing of my love for hosting unforgettable moments courted by his talent for creating extraordinary cuisine. Our shared passion for exceptional hospitality and memorable dining experiences soon led us westward, where we continued our collaboration in management and culinary roles at the renowned Henry’s Fork Lodge, tucked in the breathtaking foothills of the Teton Mountains in Idaho.

Over the years, we discovered that the true magic of hospitality happens around a dining table — where exceptional food, thoughtful presentation, and well-paired drinks bring people together in meaningful ways. We also realized that we wanted the freedom to nurture that experience with our own touch: a focus on quality, authenticity, and the genuine connections that form over shared meals.

So, with equal parts courage and excitement, we created Kindred Kitchen — a party of two serving endless gatherings of travelers, hosts, and event planners. For us, it’s never just about the food (though that’s a joy all its own). It’s about the laughter, the storytelling, and the spark of connection that happens when kindred souls meet around the table.
