Kevin Brennan is cultivating new evenings of culinary one night stands, and it sounds delicious.

When he started, he didn't want to own a bar. But he does. So he's constantly innovating by trying new and interesting ideas so he can pretend like he's out of the bar business. From the Cigar Club and Brand, to the BHive co-working space to the Skunk'd Ping Pong Parlor, Kevin has redefined what the public house can be. Now he's launching a new rock star chef series that pushes the envelope of culinary delights.
