Southern Summer Supper with Nik Snacks: A Restaurant Takeover #wsnc

Almost 8 years ago, I went to New Town Bistro to look for a job. Owner Kyle Agha, was the only one out of nearly 20 restaurants I contacted who trusted me to go into his kitchen to do a try-out or a stage (pronounced STAHJ). I ended up not working at New Town, but we've remained friends over the years.



Kyle is putting his trust in me again and this time, he and Executive Chef Donny Smith are letting me takeover the kitchen at New Town Bistro to present a single-seated dinner menu completely orchestrated by me:



Being a private chef, my culinary expertise and creativity is only experienced by a select few: those who hire me, have the fortunate opportunity to attend one of my cooking classes or visit my blog and even then, they only see photos of my food. This restaurant takeover is an opportunity for me to showcase my creativity, my skills and reach a new benchmark in my career. I'm going to push personal boundaries with the menu and hopefully the community will be able to embrace what I'm trying to do. My cooking style is trendy yet inherently Southern with a touch of elegance.
