OUR PEOPLE
Karl Lowe, Head Chef
As a little boy living in Detroit with his grandparents, Chef Karl Lowe used to stand on a stepstool to cut up chicken in his grandfather’s butcher shop. Today he says that Honeywood’s Southern fried chicken dish is one of his favorites on the new menu.
Leah Craig, Bar Manager
Taking a seat at Honeywood’s gorgeous bar is probably our favorite way to enjoy a casual meal there. Because that’s where you’ll find Leah Craig, Honeywood’s bar manager, who’s been behind the bar since day one.
Ouita Michel, Owner
Ouita Papka and Chris Michel met on the first day of chef school at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y.. Chris was a Long Island native; Ouita had moved to New York City from Lexington, Ky. to forge a future in the culinary world.
Five years later, they were married in Lexington and proceeded to rewrite the story of the agricultural and restaurant economy in Central Kentucky.
