It’s time for another Humans of Corner Kitchen! Chanyah joined our staff recently, and has already proven to be a positive influence in the restaurant, smiling whenever you see her. As you’ll see, that attitude comes through in her answers as well: Is there something you’re looking forward to doing again now that COVID-19 restrictions are a bit more relaxed? The things I’m looking forward to doing again now that
Humans of Corner Kitchen: Executive Chef Michael Mouser
Since we may not have properly introduced him to some of you, here’s a bit more about the guy pulling strings at Corner Kitchen.

Humans of Corner Kitchen: Haley Rae Smith
Haley was part of the Corner Kitchen team when we reopened in summer 2020, so she’s been here for a lot of change as we adjusted to a new way of doing things. It takes a special kind of will to make it through an experience like this past year, but her attitude is part of her success. She answered a few questions about herself: What keeps you going despite
Recipe: A Crème Brûlée or Two
As with our previous Joe and Frankie video, the intent of this recipe is to show how kids can take part in pretty sophisticated recipes with a little adult guidance, and the results are so worth it! Getting them to try it, on the other hand, is where you’re on your own. More for you, we suppose. Basic Crème Brûlée Ingredients: 2 qt. Heavy cream 7
Humans of Corner Kitchen: Grace
Women’s History Month is intended to remind us of the accomplishments of women, but when you work with women like Grace Byrd year-round, you don’t really need the reminder. Grace has been a host throughout our pandemic reopening, which is a heroic achievement in its own right, yet she remains a concrete presence every time you walk in the door.

Humans of Corner Kitchen – Joe and Kevin!
Our co-owners Kevin Westmoreland and Joe Scully are the reason the Corner Kitchen exists today, and on February 16, 2021, this restaurant will be 17 years old. Fittingly enough for an anniversary that falls only a few days after Valentine’s, keeping this restaurant alive has been a labor of love, sweat, and tears. This restaurant is in the DNA of the Scully and Westmoreland families and vice versa. Considering all
Humans of Corner Kitchen: Matt Spotila
We’ve missed doing this! And what better way to get back in the saddle than by featuring server Matt Spotila, who is a regular fixture almost any day of the week? We offered to take a more traditional portrait, but the fireplace was free and Matt was in a George Constanza-type mood… Matt answered a few quick questions post-shift for us: What keeps you going despite everything
