Join us for our very first Kiln Salon, in conversation with Chef Douglas Katz. Doug will be sharing his story, talking business, and offering insights into what's next for him and Edgewater Hospitality. Come prepared with questions!
Doors will open at 5:30pm followed by the conversation with Doug from 6pm-7pm.
Light bites will be provided along with a cash bar.
Located upstairs at Kiln, the Kiln Salon series is designed to bring people and ideas together in conversation. We plan to feature panels and speakers on a variety of topics, including what's next in food and beverage, the emergence of AI in our daily lives, and the business of restaurants.
