New York Times names Luke's Kitchen Top Ten Highlights for 2009

The New York Times rates Luke's Kitchen "Very Good"

"The happy surprises do not let up...deft, original touches let you know there's a sharp culinary mind at work...his philosophy is that 80 percent of the cooking is done at the grocery store...If so, the other 40 percent is intangibles like talent and brio, commitment and originality.  If that adds up to 120 percent, that's what Maplewood is getting from this fine restaurant."- David Corcoran, New York Times, January 11, 2009.

Luke's Kitchen was an a la carte restaurant. in Maplewood Village.  It opened up on the precipice of one of the worst economic down turns since the Great Depression.  However, throughout the economic upheaval, Luke's Kitchen was fortunate to have been supported by the community and well received by the press.  This gave us the opportunity to provide the culinary experiences that have become cherished memories to those we had the pleasure to serve.  You can still keep up with Luke's Kitchen on Facebook by clicking on the link at the bottom of the page.
