New places, new faces

We welcome Chef Bryan Bodle to Divine Dining Group as the Executive Chef at City Bar. Bryan was Executive Chef of Seablue in North Myrtle Beach for four years before joining us. We are very proud to have him as a member of our team.

I stopped by Habibi's Lebanese Market today, which just opened near Ron Jon's Beer and Burgers just over the bridge off 501. I bought some Halvah, olives, curd cheese, sea salt (I lost my usual one on my trip to NYC and needed to replace), and a meat that looked a lot like tasso ham called Basturma. It is covered with spices and the store owner said to slice thin and enjoy like prosciutto. I will let you know how it is.

Ben Tench is our new Executive Chef of Roy and Sid's and Divine Prime. He is most recently from a restaurant that he owned and successfully ran for ten years, called Tango Seafood and Steakhouse in Vero Beach, FL. He is a talented and visionary chef and I look forward to opening these restaurants with him.

More to come on our other chefs. Ciao,
Chef Kurt
