Kitchen + Kocktails: The Real Tea

Kitchen + Kocktails is leveling up with a huge new Chicago spot, but owner Kevin Kelley says the struggle is still real. Even with major love from the city, he’s calling out how his Black-owned restaurant faces extra hurdles—like being blocked from having DJs and live music, while the previous spot could. Despite the drama, Kelley’s expanding everywhere (Miami, Atlanta, Philly, and more) and still serving up those epic chicken & waffles and wild cocktails. The grind is real, but so is the glow-up! #Food #KitchenAndKocktails #BlackOwnedBusiness
