Situated in the heart of Williamsburg, A Chef’s Kitchen is a culinary experience not to be missed. Opened by Chef John and Wanda Gonzales, this establishment offers guests an opportunity to watch, learn, and eat. The open kitchen is like a stage. From their tiered seating and tables, the diners watch the chef and his team prepare a multi-course meal. The culinary team creates new menus each month and might include delectable options such as their signature skillet baked cornbread. In the past there has also been Louisiana gulf shrimp with Creole sauté and cheesy grit cakes; and mocha pots de crème with cinnamon-cocoa meringue. The meals are paired with three wines and diners receive recipes so they can recreate their favorite dishes at home.
