The restaurant is the brainchild of Younes Sabouh and Emma Dunbar. They worked together for four years at Chapel Hill’s City Kitchen.
Chef Younes hails from Morocco and learned from the finest French chefs throughout Europe before moving to the Triangle to work for Scott Crawford at Herons Restaurant at The Umstead in Cary. Most recently he was Executive Chef and created the menu at City Kitchen in Chapel Hill for Giorgio’s Restaurant Group. Emma Dunbar has an equally impressive resume in front of the house, working for two world-class hotel groups before being named GM at City Kitchen.
