EDITOR’S LETTER
DETAILS DRIVE DESIGN
W ith the possible exception of Mother Nature’s handiwork, good design doesn’t “just happen.” When discussing the creative process, it may occasionally sound like the realm of happy accidents. But, more often than not, design success is the result of careful planning, constant problem-solving, and obsessive attention to detail.
Going all the way back to my art classes in college, I was very aware of the importance of detail in design. And let’s be clear, those details are not limited to finding the perfect curve, color, or choice of subject. They include every step of your process from start to finish. The tools you use to realize your vision, the quality of the canvas you choose to create on, the manner in which you make it all come to life—each must be selected with care.
The passion behind the process can be felt in the final product. That’s true whether you are looking at a painting, a hand-painted tile, or a beautifully crafted slab of Cambria. However, it’s worth remembering that the end result is only as good as the care taken and the attention to detail paid along the way. In this issue we celebrate many creative pursuits—from design to architecture to the satisfaction that comes from preparing a beautiful gathering with friends and family. I hope you enjoy joining us as we dig into the processes of many different types of creators. And as we peek into dazzling homes and discuss the decisions that helped transform them, I encourage you to take note of how often the details can make all the difference.
Enjoy,

I’VE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THE BEST INTERIORS ARE THOSE THAT EMBRACE A VARIED STYLE, SO HERE WE HAVE ELEMENTS OF EUROPE AND INDIA, A VINTAGE VIBE, PLUS SOME MODERN ART ELEMENTS TO KEEP IT ALL FRESH.
No.1 GLOBAL GETAWAY
Known as a luxury designer for some of the world’s best-known names, MARTYN LAWRENCE BULLARD did not disappoint when it came to creating a transporting primary bathroom for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas. “I wanted it to be a fantasy escape, a space that makes you feel like you’re on vacation,” says Bullard. Pulling in far-flung design influences—from top Paris hotels to Indian palaces—Bullard added richness with Cambria on nearly every surface: Bridport on the shower surround and walls; Cambria Black baseboards and trim; and Bridport, Cambria Black, and Sutherland on the tiled floor.

CAMBRIA IS AN IDEAL MATERIAL FOR A BACKSPLASH TREATMENT LIKE THIS ONE, BECAUSE YOU GET THAT HIGH-IMPACT MOMENT WITHOUT THE MAINTENANCE OF THE GROUT LINES TILE WOULD HAVE.
No.2 SCANDINAVIAN MODERN
Architect SALLY DeGAN let her clients’ personal aesthetic inspire her design for the renovated kitchen of an older New England home. “The couple is originally from Sweden, and they like clean, Scandinavian design—but with a modern twist,” says DeGan. Accordingly, the architect specified high-gloss Poggenpohl cabinets throughout and combined Cambria’s White Cliff on the countertops with Cambria Roxwell as a dramatic focal point on the backsplash. “The Roxwell behind the range has great movement—it almost looks like flames,” says Jon Mancini of installer and fabricator Boston Counters. Natural oak floors lend an organic softness underfoot, balancing the glossy white, gray, and stainless steel palette.
Light, clean-lined accessories like these vases amplify Scandinavian style.

WE WERE GOING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF A PALM SPRINGS LOOK, WHICH MEANT PLENTY OF EASY ELEGANCE. WARM METALLIC FINISHES, [CAMBRIA QUARTZ] COUNTERTOPS, LEATHERACCENTED LIGHT FIXTURES—THERE’S SOMETHING A LITTLE ‘EXTRA’ WHEREVER YOU LOOK.
No.3 RAISING THE BAR
To give a petite poolside bar of the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Dallas a glamorous look befitting its setting, designer TRACI CONNELL pulled out all the stops, layering luxe textures and patterns on every available surface. “The richly textured, whimsical wallpaper gets all the attention,” says Connell, “but the other surfaces, from the faux-shagreen wall covering on the back wall to the fluted cabinet doors to the Cambria Colton countertops add the layers of rich interest that make the space.”

INTERESTING FINISHES—A WIRE-BRUSHED FINISH ON THE VANITY AND NICKEL-GAP SHIPLAP ON THE WALLS—HELP ADD SOFTNESS TO SPACES (LIKE BATHROOMS) THAT ARE FULL OF HARD, REFLECTIVE SURFACES.
No.4 CLEAN CONTRAST
In the spectacular bathroom she created for former Minnesota Viking Kyle Rudolph and his wife, Jordan, AMANDA LORENZ of Henri Interiors let a very special material drive the design. “When we saw the possibilities for seamless vertical installation at the Cambria factory, Jordan knew immediately that she wanted the Brittanicca design in her bathroom,” says Lorenz. To give the space a “contemporary but warm and inviting” look, Lorenz balanced the sleek stone shower with rich textures throughout the rest of the space—and added subtle farmhouse flavor with a boldly contrasting metal shower door.

I ONLY LIKE TO USE ONE REALLY BOLD ELEMENT IN A SPACE. HERE, WE WENT BIG ON THE COLOR, SO THE REST OF THE MATERIALS HAVE MORE SUBTLE INTEREST TO BALANCE THAT ‘WOW’ MOMENT.
No.5 COLORFUL PERSONALITY
When renovating a Lake Minnetonka weekend home, designer SARAH RANDOLPH let the 1970s architecture and its owners’ personalities guide her design plan. “The whole vibe was just ‘have fun,’” says Randolph. That attitude comes through in full force in the kitchen. “My clients had found this great, retro refrigerator, so we matched the cabinets to its high-gloss orange finish,” Randolph says. Cambria countertops in warm Brittanicca Gold were a natural choice for their durability and easy maintenance—essential in a house that’s all about fun.

SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE HESITANT TO USE DEEP, SATURATED TONES IN A SMALL ROOM OR ONE WITH LOW CEILINGS, BUT THOSE DARKER COLORS CAN ACTUALLY CREATE AN ‘INFINITY’ EFFECT THAT VISUALLY EXPANDS THE SPACE.
No.6 LIGHT EFFECTS
When it came time to update his clients’ coastal vacation home, designer MARCO ANGELUCCI had to find creative ways to maximize style and function while adhering to strict local building restrictions. In the primary bathroom, for example, he placed the vanities in front of the room’s main windows and used translucent panels inspired by Japanese shoji screens to create symmetrical illumination (and provide privacy). To make the neutral space more dynamic, he used contrasting tones and textures, playing low-luster finishes on the cabinets and floors against glossy Cambria Fieldstone countertops and slightly iridescent ceramic tiles.

DOWN TO EARTH
Passionate about sustainable design, this expert helped shape a wellness center that reflects nature and its unique community’s values.
JONUS JUNGBLUT
W hen it came time for sustainability expert Danny Seo to film the third season of his TV show Naturally, Danny Seo, he shifted production to the community of Serenbe near Atlanta, Georgia. A planned residential community, Serenbe is a shining example of how thoughtful design can connect you not only with nature but with your neighbors as well. To do this, 70 percent of the site was allotted to green space, in addition to a 25-acre organic farm. At its iconic Portal wellness center, small groups can explore the Serenbe lifestyle via the signature retreat called the System ReSet.
Seo and designer Rebecca Cartwright ensured Portal would be both chic and sustainable by designing in a minimalist style to reduce waste and by choosing materials like Cambria that not only stand the test of time but are also manufactured in the U.S. Interested in bringing some sustainable examples into your own home?
Seek eco-friendly materials. Seo emphasizes the importance of furnishings that do not spread chemicals through “off-gassing.” Cartwright points out that even natural materials can release similar toxins when treated with certain glues and paints. Look for natural, sustainably sourced products from industry databases like Mindful Materials, or check out health and safety certification bodies like Well.
Recycling and reuse are also a great sustainable practice and were part of the design strategy for Portal—from the beautiful table crafted from a repurposed tree trunk, to the vintage décor on living room shelves. Portal also went the extra mile and installed geothermal heating, which will lead to an energy savings of 40 to 70 percent over its lifetime.
SPACE SAVER
Cartwright put the spaces beneath bathroom vanities to good use as additional linen storage.
GLOSS OR MATTE?
Cartwright chose Cambria Archdale Matte, which beautifully mimics the natural wood textures seen in both the flooring and the custom-built table.
Danny Seo parlays his passion for living both sustainably and beautifully into a wellness empire that includes best-selling books, magazines, TV programs, and more.

COURTESTY FIRECLAY. SHE SHE PHOTO BY 2ND TRUTH
T he secret to designing a home you love to live in? Giving every space the personal treatment, so you see yourself—your style, your lifestyle—reflected wherever you look. And that means treating walls and surfaces to colors and patterns you love, the more unique the better. Here’s a look at three artisanal makers creating inspiring handcrafted wall coverings, tiles, and more.
One-of-a-Kind Wall Coverings
Interior architect Jennifer Jorgensen and illustrator Kate Worum know plenty about making a statement by hand. Though they once fantasized about creating super-sustainable wall coverings out of pine needles or birch bark, they ultimately decided to build their company, She She, around one of the most sustainable resources: their own womanpower. With hand-painted wallpapers as their signature offering, this Minnesota company soon expanded to create other designs and textiles as well.
This customization process, that was once reserved only for the upper echelon of homeowners, has become a much more viable option. Whether it be sending in your design to a company that prints wallpaper for you, like Spoonflower, or sitting down for an hour-long ideation session with small companies, like Jorgensen and Worum, the goal of either route is to ultimately provide one-of-a-kind pieces of art that realize those personal ideas. From abstract shapes to natural inspiration to color washes, the limit for these customized walls is really as broad as one’s imagination. She She has even created work inspired by some of Cambria’s iconic quartz countertop designs, another company proud of its Minnesota roots.
Patterns Inspired by the Past
Perhaps you would have been a perfect fit among the finery of the Victorian era or the feisty flappers of the Roaring Twenties, or just really love the décor and wallpapers of that era? You may not be able to time travel, but your walls can with help from Adelphi Paper Hangings. Based in bucolic Sharon Springs, New York, Adelphi not only meticulously researches and rediscovers long-lost wall covering patterns, but it also re-creates the papers using materials and methods that honor their vintage origins.
Working on a 19th-century-style printing bench and using methods historically accurate to that time, Adelphi artisans press patterns onto paper using a series of carved wood blocks. For example, their Adelphi Butterfly Chintz requires 27 blocks to achieve all the necessary layers of shape and color. Its paper stock closely matches the appearance, texture, and weight of those used in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Adelphi even uses paint designed to mimic the look and feel of the type once used to create such papers (with a modern twist for ease of use). They even offer seamed rolls for those seeking maximum historical authenticity.
The designs have been exhaustively researched to re-create patterns found throughout archives in the United States, England, and France, in addition to the custom designs they’ve re-created for clients. In many cases, the first steps in that process involve reconstructing the pattern from samples damaged by everything from their original installation to the passage of time. What’s more, Adelphi is so dedicated to authenticity that—unless they determine an original pattern was printed inaccurately—they will not alter it.
Tile with an Artistic Spirit
There’s another kind of wall that hearkens back to the oldest forms of shelter known to humans: those made of adobe bricks. These are the ancestors of the brick, ceramic, and glass tile now made by California-based Fireclay. Fireclay’s Jamie Chappell points out that—though their products come in a much wider array of colors and textures than those made thousands of years ago—both are, essentially, the result of raw materials, sourced from the earth and exposed to heat.
When it comes to embodying a sense of individuality, Chappell notes that, to a certain extent, everything they create is custom. Once a homeowner chooses their colors and shapes, their tiles are then made to order specifically for that project. Fireclay also can develop custom colors, sizes, or patterns for larger projects; Chappell notes this rarely happens in noncommercial situations, however, because the minimum order is large.
That said, homeowners often customize hand-painted tiles by selecting which colors to include in their particular patterns. Chappell jokes that most people they work with find the hardest part of the process is committing to final color choices because Fireclay offers 111. Chappell also points out that because applying the glazes that create these hand-painted pieces requires skill, their team includes artistically inclined individuals like hobby ceramicists, photographers, painters, sculptors—even aspiring tattoo artists. And because these artisans bring their own personal style to the pieces, this makes the product even more unique. But beyond achieving a wall covering that reflects personal tastes in color, texture, and pattern, it’s worth remembering that anything you place in your home becomes a part of your story. And, if you want that story to feel true, it’s important to choose brands that value authenticity. One way in which Fireclay positions itself as an authentic brand is transparency about aspects of their business—from the materials they use to how they protect the health of employees. Chappell points to Cambria as a similarly authentic brand. She feels that the high design and unmatched durability of Cambria surfaces, the shared values of Fireclay and Cambria, and their shared commitment to sustainability make for a combination of products that would make any homeowner proud.
Next time you look around and feel the urge for a change of scenery inside your home, consider a statement wall. Whether you choose a reproduction of a classic wallpaper from an inspirational space you’ve seen; or an original, hand-painted design you have created with the help of expert artisans; or a handcrafted tile backsplash over your Cambria countertops that inspires you every time you walk into your kitchen, it’s sure to give you a feeling of being where you belong. Nothing creates a sense of home like seeing your space brought to life by design that reflects your unique sensibilities.
ONE OF A KIND
Hand-painted wallpaper by small companies like She She offers the opportunity for personal reflection, creativity, and even expressing heritage.

A ROOM WITH A VIEW
Unimpeded sight lines and a sense of spaciousness were key. The entry—where the white oak and stainless steel of the stairway generate a sleek geometry—offers a clear view through the kitchen dining area to the garden beyond.
SLEEK AND STYLISH
“I love white,” says Prihar, “and Cambria’s White Cliff is so nice and pure, and really shows off the walnut on the island.
Plus, it’s durable and easy to clean—hands-down the best choice.”
EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE
In the butler’s pantry, Cambria’s concrete-hued Carrick is the perfect complement to the stainless steel detailing of the high-gloss lacquer cabinets.
TAKE A SEAT
A carefully calibrated contrast pervades the kitchen, with its warm travertine floor, dining table of reclaimed boat wood, and leather-and-steel island stools.
SUMMER FUN INDOORS AND OUT
The rear facade is amply windowed, creating a powerful link to the outdoors (above). The double-height family room opens directly to the garden terrace (below).
FIRE AND LIGHT
Prihar devised a three-sided fireplace set in a concrete pier to mark the transition from the kitchen to the family room. Roger Lounge Chairs by Thayer Coggin welcome homeowners and guests in style.
LINEAR DELIGHT
A mosaic wall treatment forms a dynamic backdrop in the powder room, tying together the white backlit mirror and Cambria Black floating vanity.
FRESHEN UP

ALL BUSINESS

A custom home with an easygoing vibe is the perfect setting for a YouTube-famous young couple to build their family and their business.

GATHERING SPOT
The kitchen opens into the dining room, where a dramatic woven pendant fixture signals the shift between cooking and hangout zones.
When content creators and YouTube stars Jess and Gabriel Conte decided to relocate from Los Angeles to South Florida, they turned to builder J.P. DiMisa and interior designer Jason Ball to help them create the custom home of their dreams. The couple wanted to live closer to family, and to creae a light, bright, open home where they could live, work, entertain, create content, and start their own family. “Most of our clients are retirees or 40-something parents of young families,” says DiMisa. “It was refreshing to work with a couple in their early 20s—their energy was a lot of fun.”
Because the house had to be multifunctional, DiMisa helped the couple create a flexible floorplan, with plenty of spaces for living and entertaining, as well as dedicated office spaces, and a music room. He also worked to create seamless indoor-outdoor flow with a mix of covered and open outdoor living and recreation areas, each with easy access to the light-drenched interior. Another detail essential in hurricane-prone Florida: careful attention to the windows and doors. DiMisa chose Miami-Dade County–certified models that can stand up to 140 mph winds, with eye-catching antique bronze frames that add dimension to the mostly white exteriors and interiors.
With the shell of the home in place, Jess Conte led the interior design with the help of Ball. “I love design,” says Jess. “We knew the look we wanted—a real mix of coastal style and design influences from Australia, where I’m from. We wanted it to be a mix of both of our homes.”
The couple worked with Ball to create a pared-down, natural style that didn’t look brand-new. To create that clean, organic aesthetic, they kept the palette minimal and incorporated plenty of wood finishes. Accenting with warm metallics and hints of black for contrast added dimension and a modern spin. Layers of rich texture helped create the “pre-aged” look the couple wanted, says Ball.
In the kitchen, for example, the design combines multiple finishes all within a white-and-cream color scheme—Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace paint; a Venetian plaster finish on the range hood; simple stacked tiles above the range; and Cambria Newport Matte countertops—creating a light, bright look with enough variation to keep things interesting. “They’re amazing,” says Gabriel about the Cambria countertops. “So beautiful, and durable!” Custom cabinets in a mix of white and natural wood offer open and closed storage for easy entertaining. Decorative touches, many sourced by Jess, like island pendants with concrete shades and antique brass hardware, lend subtle personality.
The kitchen flows directly into the dining and living spaces. “All the rooms mirror each other, so the look is very cohesive,” says Ball. Wire-brushed oak flooring in every room helps tie the open floor plan together. And in the living area, the Venetian plaster application from the kitchen range hood reappears on the fireplace surround, creating a “bookend” effect for the two spaces. The aged-bronze window frame finish is repeated on the dramatic staircase railings. And Cambria Newport Matte tops the counters not only in the kitchen but in all the bathrooms and in the laundry room. “[Cambria] Newport has a warm undertone, which we loved for its contrast to the cool white on the walls throughout,” says Ball.
Of course, no Florida home would be complete without plenty of outdoor living spaces, and this one is no exception. The rear of the house opens onto a lush, resort-like backyard, with a covered dining and lounge area leading to the pool. Not pictured: the front-yard firepit and basketball court. “We’re always out there shooting hoops when we have parites,” says Gabriel.
Every detail of the design, inside and out, has a minimalist sophistication that feels fresh, young, and natural—like its owners. “There’s just something very inviting about this house. You step through the door and you feel like you’re home,” says Ball. Just the place, in other words, for a hardworking young couple to put down roots and bloom.
CONTEMPORARY COMPLEMENTS
The home is largely soft and textured, which is the perfect complement for the clean, soft white of Cambria countertops in Newport Matte.
MATERIALS MATTER
Repeating finishes and materials, like aged bronze, wire-brushed oak, Venetian plaster, and Cambria Newport Matte create a cohesive design from room to room.
LUSH LIFE
Sliding doors and large windows offer access to and views of the tropical backyard, resort-quality pool, and covered lounging and dining areas, for a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
LUXURIOUS TOUCHES
A freestanding tub and a luxe walk-in shower give the primary bathroom a spa-like atmosphere. And even the laundry room, with its Cambria Newport Matte counters, black appliances, and porcelain tiles has a luxe vibe.
ARTFULLY ORCHESTRATED
Like the city that surrounds it, New York’s premier concert venue—the historic showcase for artists from Yo-Yo Ma to Wynton Marsalis—Alice Tully Hall is always in motion. Its latest evolution includes a luxurious new salon designed to perfectly complement an evening of immersion in the arts.

ARCHITECTURAL HARMONY
Thanks to a complete overhaul, Lincoln Center’s Juilliard Building gained thousands of square feet, including more space for The Juilliard School; a revamping of its renowned performance space, Alice Tully Hall; and a soaring new lobby and cafe. With its dramatic angled design—reminiscent of a conductor paused at the top of a crescendo, you might say—and sheets of glass, the facade captures the energy of its landmark setting on Broadway and Lincoln Square.
OPEN INVITATION
Cantilevered over a sunken plaza, the soaring entrance leads to an atrium-like lobby, the Café (complete with buttery French pastries from New York’s renowned Balthazar Bakery), and new Hauser Patron Salon.

CHIC RETREAT
When Alice Tully Hall opened for the 2021 season, it was with a completely redecorated Hauser Patron Salon. “We wanted to embrace a return to normalcy and give it a look that was welcoming and glamorous,” say Katie Sutton and Alyssa Urban from the design team at New York’s Cullman & Kravis. “We chose Cambria—a material we often come back to—in the kitchen and bar area because it’s timeless and practical and helps elevate the space.”
CHRISTIAN HARDER
FORM AND FUNCTION
Like many commercial spaces, the Hauser Patron Salon had to be flexible, designed to appeal to the many groups who use it and able to be adapted to a variety of needs that serve the arts community. The design team kept the color scheme neutral, but added luxe texture for coziness and bold pops of color for visual interest. And they chose furniture that was sleek and lightweight: easy to move around the space and into storage, as necessary.
IWAN BAAN
ORIGINAL MATERIAL
The glass-wrapped lobby feels like it’s part of the vibrant streetscape outside—and vice versa. And while the lobby, the Hauser Patron Salon, and the performance hall each have their own distinct designs, a bold approach to materiality unites them through generous swathes of stone, glass, wood, and metal and an organic modern flow.
IWAN BAAN
SOUND DECISIONS
The home of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the New York Film Festival, Jazz at Lincoln Center, and more, Alice Tully Hall is also perched atop New York City’s rumbling subway tunnels. So while the theater’s sinuous, wood-wrapped interior might grab your attention, after the music starts thanks should go to the painstaking soundproofing (including a cork-lined asbestos pad between the theater’s foundation and bedrock, acoustical ceiling panels, and isolation of the theater’s walls from any structural columns.
CAMBRIA’S STAR TURNS
Did you know? Cambria’s role at Alice Tully Hall isn’t our first time on stage. You’ll find Cambria in some of the country’s most elevated commercial settings, where its legendary beauty and durability can stand up to any demand. A few takes from our highlight reel:

FASHION FORWARD
A style-savvy makeover gave designer Rebecca Minkoff’s Brooklyn home a chic—but family friendly—new attitude.

GATHER ROUND
A sleekly simple table in acacia veneer and oak chairs stained an inky black partner with a custom banquette to create a chic but easygoing dining area.
“Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off” fashion icon Coco Chanel is said to have declaimed. That oh-so-sensible rule springs to mind when looking at the Brooklyn home of designer Rebecca Minkoff. Like one of her signature handbags, this spacious spread is subtly stylish—very put together, but not showy. “We wanted a space that would have great design, but also not have it be too precious,” shares Minkoff.
Minkoff worked with interior designer Stephanie Gaelick to achieve this enviable look. When Minkoff and her husband, producer/director Gavin Bellour, acquired the apartment, it needed considerable attention. “It’s a huge space with high ceilings and gets great sun, but it was in rough shape,” says Gaelick. “We completely gutted the kitchen and all the bathrooms, lightened up the floors, and integrated the living areas to really make them the family-friendly center of the home.”
The kitchen, of course, got some serious love, especially as Minkoff enjoys cooking for her family, which includes three young children. The open plan is anchored by an island topped in Cambria’s Queensbury. “It’s not too busy, but still bold, with sparkly veining that looks like you’ve cut open a geode,” notes Gaelick. “I was playing with the idea of dressing the space, and that sparkly detail in the veining—like the brass hardware on the cabinets—gives it a kind of glam feeling.”
Previously, the dining area was oriented more toward the living room than the kitchen. Gaelick corrected that by transforming it into a laid-back lounge and creating a space adjacent to the kitchen that is perfect for weekday meals or a dinner party. A leather-backed custom banquette is nestled under the island and paired with a dining table and chairs from Lulu and Georgia. In contrast to the simplicity of the dining table and the hominess of its companion chairs, the furniture in the living room and lounge strike a chic but comfortable note, especially the classic mid-century Mario Bellini sofa upholstered in white bouclé.
Although black and white are key to the color palette here, so too are warm earth tones. The flooring is whitewashed red oak and white oak open shelving punctuates the wall above the kitchen. “We love the idea of using a lot of wood but didn’t want you to walk in and notice a million different wood colors,” says Gaelick. “So, we went with the whitewash for a warm undertone, then layered in slightly darker oak tones.”
One of Gaelick’s favorite aspects of the project is the sort of thing many designers wouldn’t think twice about: how to handle the radiators? A common eyesore in New York’s older buildings, these unsightly but necessary elements can really play havoc with a design scheme. Determined not to let them undo all she had done in the unit, Gaelick created handsome covers crafted from solid whitewash maple. “I think they are one of the more special things we did. They really add a special character.” Sexy? Maybe not. But combine her carefully considered details with Cambria’s glam and sparkle, and the warmth of the woods, and they all marry together to make this one well-dressed home.
WHAT’S FOR DINNER?

HOT TO HANDLE
The Cambria Galloway chef’s table is front and center in the kitchen at Fhima’s Minneapolis.
It’s a treasured culinary tradition that offers a few lucky guests a chance to experience the people, process, and stories behind a restaurant: the chef’s table. Authentic chef’s tables are usually located in the kitchen and—if you are lucky—offer amazing, uncensored, and gritty behind-the-scenes access to the kitchens. Its culinary magicians not only create delicious dishes but also leave mouths agape at the dance of getting a five-star meal from ticket to table with speed and precision.
“It’s a way to show the anatomy of what goes down in the kitchen,” explains Elijah Fhima, maître d’hôtel and director of operations at Fhima’s Minneapolis. He’s also the son of Chef David Fhima and relishes sharing the energy of their own bustling family meals with restaurant guests. None get closer to the action at Fhima’s than David’s chef’s table—nestled in the corner of the kitchen close enough to see and smell the sizzle of every pan and to hear the banter between chef and servers. Make no mistake: It does not get more in the kitchen than this. “We’re not hiding anything,” Fhima says. “It’s the naked truth.”
Meanwhile, if you are looking for a more controlled environment but the same visual access, there are more removed experiences. At Daniel, Chef Daniel Boulud’s renowned restaurant in New York City, guests may dine at a Skybox chef’s table, which offers views of the kitchen action from above. “It’s the only location in the whole restaurant to allow that type of dining,” notes Regional Manager Karim Guedouar.
There are many variations on chef’s tables. Some keep guests further from the kitchen than others offering more access but less action, so inquire about the location and amount of interaction when making your reservation.
Both Fhima’s and Daniel offer tasting menus that include traditional dishes and seasonal specials. Fhima points to the lamb tagine as a dish enhanced by watching it being prepared—how the chef builds layers of sweet and savory under the cooking pot’s iconic conical top. At Daniel, Guedouar notes that guests at Daniel particularly enjoy the seared foie gras, which is flambéed and sauced tableside.
Looking for a twist? Fhima notes that you can invite its chef to your home to make your table the chef’s table. Or Chef Fhima will even host your celebration at their family home. As an added note of interest, Fhima says the historic bar in the home’s basement still has remnants of bullet holes from when gangster Al Capone was attacked there. It seems like he loves finding new ways to get people closer to the action.
BUT HOW DO THE CHEFS FEEL?
Does a kitchen staff mind outsiders in their kitchen? “We love showing off for the guests,” David explains. He loves stepping over to the table as courses are served to tell a story and reflect on the food. Or you will occasionally hear him hollering to his in-kitchen guests for the evening when the urge to share an interesting anecdote strikes.
Guedouar acknowledges that having guests watch has its pluses and minuses. “It’s a pleasure and a pressure,” he says. But he’s also aware that, although guests are there to enjoy the kitchen spectacle, many are drawn by the celebrity of Chef Boulud himself, who always seems happy to talk with Skybox guests and pose for photos. “Outside his culinary skills,” Guedouar says, “there is the opportunity for the guests to meet the man, and it’s amazing.”

SIZZLE
SURPRISE GUESTS WITH UNEXPECTED OFFERINGS FROM THE GRILL AND THEN COOL DOWN WITH REFRESHING SIPS FOR SUMMER.
When you’ve got a hankering for char and smoke, amp up your traditional offerings with these grilled vegetable dishes served along with some delicious dips and sauces. In fact, the grill needn’t even be your only source of heat. Many ingredients—in particular root vegetables—benefit from pre-roasting in the oven to ensure they’re nicely cooked through, bringing out all the flavor. Create some of our favorite dishes we’ve curated here, alongside a gorgeous crudités platter, and raise a toast with our perfectly paired summer libations.
PIZZA ON THE GRILL WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, MOZZARELLA, AND ARUGULA
GUAVA BASIL BUCK
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
8 oz. vodka
8 oz. guava nectar
12 oz. ginger beer
4 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
4 basil leaves (plus more for garnish)
Ice cubes
Lime wedges for garnish
DIRECTIONS
Fill four cocktail glasses with ice. Pour 2 oz. vodka, 2 oz. guava nectar, and 3 oz. ginger beer into each glass. Squeeze a Tbsp. of lime juice into each glass and drop in a basil leaf. Stir and then serve with more basil leaves and lime wedges. Enjoy!
GRILLED WATERMELON & SHISHITO PEPPER SALAD
GRILLED WATERMELON & SHISHITO PEPPER SALAD
Serves 4–6
INGREDIENTS
For the dressing
Zest and juice of 1 lime, 1 Tbsp.
½ tsp. honey
½ tsp. paprika or chili powder
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh mint
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
For the dry rub on watermelon
1 tsp. sugar
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. cumin powder
½ teaspoon paprika or chili powder
Other ingredients
1 small watermelon, with rind removed and cut into approximately 4-by-2-inch pieces
8 oz. shishito peppers
Fresh mint leaves
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
DIRECTIONS
Pour all the dressing ingredients into a jar and whisk to form a smooth sauce. Check salt and add more to taste. Pour all dry-rub ingredients in a small bowl and mix. If you are using a large gas grill, you can grill the watermelon and peppers together. Oil a grill plate and place the peppers on it. Sprinkle with salt and place on the hot grill. Toss every minute for 5 minutes until the peppers are nicely charred. Sprinkle the dry rub on both sides of the watermelon and place it on the hot grill. Grill for 2 minutes on one side, then flip to grill for 2 more minutes on the other side. Finally, put the grilled watermelon and grilled shishito peppers on a serving plate, drizzle the dressing and top with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately.
TIPS FOR GRILLING FRUIT
1 Pick fruit that is firm and not overripe.
2 Make sure grill is hot so the fruit doesn’t stick to it and get mushy.
3 Use a neutral-flavored oil like canola so the fruit is the star.
4 Dust citrus with sugar to keep it from sticking and to give it a caramelized finish.
GRILLED CAJUN AND ORANGE TOFU SKEWERS
HOPPY SUMMER PAIRINGS
To quench summer thirst, beer enthusiasts need easy-drinking brews like lagers, shandies, and IPAs, often featuring refreshing notes of fruit. Here are three of our favorites to help cool down after the heat of the grill.
LOCAL TWIST CITRUS WHEAT
August Schell Brewing Company
A refreshing low-calorie grapefruit-and-orange citric wheat sure to quench any summer thirst.
BACKWOODS BASTARD
Founders Brewing Company
This warming bourbon-style beer is the ultimate pairing for anything charred, smoked, or sauced. Pairs beautifully with grilled veggies and other flame-licked summer foods.
PEAR OF PEACHES (IMPERIAL HAZY IPA)
Avery Brewing Company
This perfectly hopped IPA—loaded with luscious notes of pear and peaches—will have your mouth watering through every sip.
GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH CHIMICHURRI AND AIOLI DIPPING SAUCES
GRILL LIKE A PRO
It’s not rocket science, but there are some tried-and-true do’s and don’ts. Here are some of our favorites:
OIL THE GRATES, NOT THE FOOD
You don’t want your veggies to stick, but if you oil your veggies, the oil burns off quickly and the food will taste too charred and rancid. Instead, oil your hot grates (700–800 degrees) with a brush or a clean rag using a neutral oil like canola—like you are seasoning a cast iron pan—which is what your grates will become if you do this each time you grill.
BE BOLD WITH SEASONING
When seasoning vegetables, use the same ratio as you would use with meat.
STOP FUSSING
The less you move your food, the better it will retain flavor and display those classic grill marks—spritz a high flame with water rather than moving your masterpiece in process.
LESS IS MORE
Tend toward taking food off the heat a bit early; it will continue to cook for a few minutes after leaving the grill. And to keep the texture, and not have soggy bottoms, place on a cooling rack until you plate or use in a recipe.
RECIPES
PIZZA ON THE GRILL WITH CHERRY TOMATOES, MOZZARELLA, AND ARUGULA
Adapted from The New York Times Serves 3–6
INGREDIENTS
3 10-inch pizza crusts
Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing 1½ to 2 boxes cherry tomatoes
5 oz. mozzarella—shredded if fresh, sliced if low-moisture
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 generous handfuls baby arugula
DIRECTIONS
Heat grill. Cut cherry tomatoes in half and place in a bowl near the grill, along with the olive oil, salt and pepper, mozzarella, and arugula. Brush the hot grill rack with olive oil. Place a round of dough on a lightly dusted baker’s peel or rimless baking sheet. Slide the pizza dough from the peel or baking sheet onto the grill rack. If the dough has just come from the freezer and is easy to handle, you can place it directly on the grill without the peel. Close the lid of the grill (with the vents closed) and wait 2 minutes. Lift the grill lid. The surface of the dough should display some big air bubbles. Using tongs, lift the dough slighty to see if it is evenly browning on the bottom. Rotate dough to ensure even browning. Keep it on the grill, moving it around as necessary, until it is nicely browned, with grill marks. When the bottom is nicely browned, use tongs or a spatula to slide the dough onto the baking sheet or peel, and remove from the grill. Close the grill again. Next, make sure that there is still some flour on the peel or baking sheet and flip the dough over so that the uncooked side is now on the bottom. Brush the surface lightly with oil, topping with cherry tomatoes and shreds or slices of mozzarella. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Slide the pizza back onto the grill. (If using a gas grill, reduce the heat to medium-high.) Close the lid and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes, until the bottom begins to brown. Open the grill and check the pizza; if the cheese hasn’t melted, leave for a few more minutes. If the bottom is getting too dark, move the pizza to a cooler part of the grill and close the top. Use a spatula or tongs to remove the pizza to a cutting board. Scatter the arugula on top, cut into wedges, and serve. Repeat with the other two pizza crusts.
GRILLED CAJUN AND ORANGE TOFU SKEWERS
Serves 2–3
INGREDIENTS
1 block / 225 g extra firm tofu
2 Tbsp. maple syrup
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp cajun spice
1 blood orange
1 tsp. smoked garlic granules
DIRECTIONS
Cut the tofu block into 12 square pieces. If your tofu is not firm, squeeze out as much water as possible. Juice the orange and mix with the other ingredients in a bowl that will allow the marinade to completely cover the tofu. Place the tofu pieces in the marinade and pop into the fridge. If the marinade does not completely cover the tofu, turn them over after an hour. The tofu will start to turn an orangey-brown color. Leave for at least 2 hours to soak up the flavors. Half an hour before you are ready to cook, soak skewers in cold water. Heat a griddle pan on medium heat with a small amount of oil. Place 4 pieces of tofu on a skewer. Check that the skewers fit into the pan, otherwise cut to the size needed. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the tofu is sticky and browned. Pour or brush additional marinade over skewers as you are cooking them.
GRILLED VEGETABLES
Serves 12–24
INGREDIENTS
Assorted vegetables such as:
1 green zucchini, peeled and cut into 4 pieces lengthwise
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 lb. asparagus, bottoms cut
1 small Japanese eggplant, cut into rounds
1 bunch red beets, trimmed
1 bunch golden beets, trimmed
1 pound green beans
1 pound baby potatoes
1 pound brussel sprouts
2 onions, peeled and thickly sliced
1 large bunch of carrots, peeled and with their tops/greens
¼ cup olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 ball of burrata, sliced in half
8 ounces of ciliegine mozzarella balls
Dipping sauces
DIRECTIONS
Wrap the beet bunches in foil and place them directly on the grill. Grill for 40 to 45 minutes until tender. Once cooked, remove beets from the foil, peel and quarter. Next, coat the remaining vegetables in olive oil, salt, and pepper. With about 25 minutes left in the cooking process, add the potatoes and brussels sprouts. With 10 minutes left in the cooking process, add remaining vegetables and cook until tender and grill marks have formed. Remove the vegetables and serve on a platter with dipping sauces, sliced burrata, and mozzarella balls.

LESLEE MILLER, CERTIFIED SOMMELIER OF AMUSÉE, SUGGESTS INSPIRED WINE PAIRINGS FOR SUMMER.
GRILLED PIZZA
If you have not yet tiptoed into the world of Mexican wine, your first step should be Bodega Symmetría ‘Eje,’ a combination of zinfandel, cabernet sauvignon, tempranillo, syrah from Valle de Guadalupe. This textured and alluring red is perfect for flatbreads and veggies, as well as spiced dips, spreads, and smoked meats.
WATERMELON SALAD
Try a zesty white with a mix of fresh floral aromatics, summer fruit, and a mouthwatering zip.
Pullus ‘Halozan’ is a combination of sauvignon blanc, welschriesling, riesling, furmint, chardonnay, pinot blanc, pinot grigio, and muscat from Štajerska, Slovenia. Clean and pleasant, the wine offers a light, distinctly fruity sip.
GRILLED VEGETABLES
When pairing with summer veggies—not to mention fresh cheeses or luscious summer fruits—you can’t go wrong with a gorgeous pick like J. Mourat ‘Naturiste’ Chenin Blanc De Jardin from Fiefs Vendéens, Loire Valley, France. The salty, limey, green-apple acid in this layered white makes mouths pucker, while notes of dried pineapple, tarragon, and yellow pear perfectly balance the palate.
