Meet the Executive Chef and Catering Director:
Sosie Hublitz
Sosie was raised in the greater Washington D.C. area where great
food was a part of everyday family life. Growing up in a metropolitan
area close to the Chesapeake Bay exposed her to a variety of ethnic
foods as well as the fresh seafood the Bay had to offer.
After studying Fine Arts at Virginia Commonwealth
University, Sosie moved to Los Angeles, and began a career in motion
pictures, as a set designer and art director. After nine years of
traveling around the world and designing film sets Sosie changed
careers. Combining her talent for designing sets, and her love of
food, she moved to Richmond, Virginia and opened her first nationally
recognized and critically acclaimed restaurant, “Millie’s”.
After six years of unstoppable success, Sosie decided to move to
New York City to study food by simply living in the city and consulting
for several developing restaurants. Next,the opportunity to help
design the Richmond, Virginia theme restaurant ‘Havana 59”
presented itself. Sosie became the consultant for the restaurant
design and menu development, which featured a Cuban-Chinese menu
that set new trends in Richmond. After seeing Havana off to success
it was time to open her next restaurant, “Mono Loco”
located in Charlottesville, Virginia. Mono Loco was the city’s
first authentic Latin themed bistro that became the hottest destination
spot in town.
Next project on the list was “Patina Grill”
in Richmond's west end and once again the food and design made it
to the “Best of” lists in all categories.
Now, living near the boyhood home of Thomas Jefferson, “Tuckahoe
Plantation” Sosie and plantation owner Tad Thompson teamed
up and offered exclusive catered events, specializing in wedding
ceremonies and receptions. After hundreds of events and years of
flawless service, Sosie had the opportunity to open her next restaurant,
“The Kitchen Table”, located in downtown Richmond. With
a new restaurant in full swing that once again commanded all of
the “Best of” awards, it seemed natural to expand the
restaurant with a full service catering company. Kitchen Table Catering
offered custom designed menus that suited client's individual themes
and culinary preferences.
After years of success in Richmond with
features in publications including Southern Living, Gourmet, Food
Arts, The Washington Post and the New York Times, Sosie decided
to move to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
