Chef Kate Johnson

Chef Kate Johnson

Our chefs love what they do — cooking, teaching, and collaborating with our incredible team of hospitality professionals to make every experience at The Kitchen special. But this dinner is something entirely different.

For one night, we’re setting collaboration aside and letting each chef run wild. This is their moment to create the food that speaks to their soul — the dishes they dream about, the flavors that push them creatively, and the kind of cooking that reminds us all why food is an art form.

Come experience an inspired, multi-course evening where each plate tells a story — uniquely crafted, beautifully plated, and deeply personal.

A bit more about Kate

Kate’s culinary style is all about real, everyday food for everyday people, envisioning her mom as the quintessential home cook. The best part of her gig? The community around food, especially the joy of folks recreating her lessons at home. Kids’ Camp is a highlight, witnessing kids proudly replicating day one’s recipes for their parents.

Adding to Kate's unique culinary journey is the fact that she was born without a sense of smell. Instead of viewing it as a limitation, Kate approaches cooking with a fearless attitude, occasionally overlooking the oven timer with a cavalier flair
