Kevin Kelley Opens Kitchen + Kocktails in Times Square and It Is Now the Brand's Largest Location

Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley opened in New York City's Times Square on Oct. 3, and AfroTech reports it is now the brand's largest location. Kelley, a practicing litigation lawyer, founded the Southern comfort food restaurant in Dallas in August 2020 and keeps full ownership. The brand also has an Atlanta restaurant.

Why It Matters for Atlanta Professionals

Atlanta diners know the brand, and its founder is a working professional who built a multi-city restaurant group without giving up ownership, a path many Atlanta business owners are weighing.
