Spring 2023

Robin Williams put it best when he said, “Spring is nature’s way of saying ‘Let’s Party!’” After a considerably wet, snowy, and blowy winter, the onset of Spring has found us embracing the newly found sunshine as well as our seasonal favorites.

Strawberries, asparagus, Dungeness crab, artichokes, garden peas, wild sorrel, rhubarb, and local Spring lamb all add to our re-emergence from our lengthy Winter. Here at The Kitchen, we welcome the warmth, scent, and tastes of the new season, as we also welcome our most cherished part of it, you, our guest.

Let us revel in the fact that no Spring skips its turn and join us to celebrate loved ones once again and turn acquaintances into new friends; sit back, relax, smile, laugh, eat, and enjoy as we relish this new beginning, with the blossoms in the air.

Bon Appétit!

—Chef Kelly McCown
