You’ve found me.

I opened my first restaurant at the seasoned age of seven.

A name which had no meaning other than that of a seven-year old’s idea of what restaurants are called, “Kitchen B” opened its doors in a small corner of my family home’s kitchen. Kitchen B’s first customers (and investors) were, like many great ventures, my ever-supportive parents.

Imaginary as the food may have been, or few the customers who visited, Kitchen B still occupies a special moment in time. Now, fifteen years later, I still dream of opening a restaurant — maybe a grown-up one in New York’s West Village or London’s Covent Garden — with the wonder perhaps only a restaurant supply store can inspire.

Though ideas for careers have come and gone, I’ve always kept hold, somewhere, to the childhood dream of opening a restaurant.

I’ll complete my final year at Georgetown University in May 2024. While Kitchen B taught me a lot, the restaurant industry is not like what it used to be, and there’s plenty more to learn. In the year preceding my graduation, I’ve set myself the task to soak up as much knowledge as I can of the hospitality industry across three broad categories: business, sustainability, and design.

I thought I’d share my findings on a public platform — the place you’ve found me now — with the hopes that I can collect my knowledge in one place and learn from others nearby.
