Join us for a weekend with James Beard Nominated Chef Kelsey Barnard Clark!

Born and raised in Alabama, Kelsey Barnard Clark has developed an impressive resume as the fifth woman and first southerner to win the title of Bravo’s “Top Chef,” and a 2024 James Beard Award nominee for Best Chef: South. Kelsey got her start in the food industry working for a high-end caterer and catered her first solo wedding at age 15. After graduating from the CIA, she worked savory & pastry in several Michelin-star restaurants in New York City, including Café Boulud under Gavin Kaysen, and Dovetail under John Fraser. Her signature southern-French cuisine is inspired by family recipes and classic French techniques. Today, Kelsey runs her catering company and restaurant, KBC, in historic downtown Dothan. In August 2021, her debut cookbook “Southern Grit” hit the shelves.

Join KBC on our Pink Beach starting with cocktails on the sand and watch as Lion fisherwomen emerge from the water with a fresh catch of the invasive (yet delicious) Lionfish species on the island. Experience it as they prepare fresh ceviche and other bites right in front of your eyes. Then on Saturday experience her four-course dinner with wine pairing. Complete the tasty weekend with brunch on Sunday morning.
