Episode 6 - David Viana & Neilly Robinson of Lita & Heirloom Kitchen Maître d’ Diaries

    • Food

It's been quite a year for Chef David Viana and Managing Director Neilly Robinson, partners in New Jersey's Heirloom Kitchen, Heirloom at the St. Laurent Social Club, and the systemically innovative, vibrantly delicious, Lita.

Last summer we visited David and Neilly six weeks after Lita, their Modern Iberian Restaurant in Aberdeen Township, NJ, opened. Since then, Esquire Magazine and the James Beard Foundation have recognized Lita as one of the country's Best New Restaurants.

We agree, and we think Lita also boasts an important new approach to restaurant staffing. You're going to want to hear about how Viana and Robinson are blending BOH & FOH to foster growth and career sustainability for their team members.

Join us for our chat about the vision and intentionality behind this beacon of exciting hospitality and its creators' game-changing model for sharing the wealth.
