The path to restaurant ownership for Katie Birmingham has been anything but traditional. The chef, turned lawyer, turned restaurateur first made a name for herself working under Günter Seeger. She followed that up by serving as the sous-chef de cuisine at Anne Quatrano’s Bacchanalia.
In need of a change, she dropped the food gig and decided to wax intellectual at Kilpatrick Stockton. Now, the LaVarenne trainee is back and doing her own thing. She has brought a delightful sensibility to her Midtown sandwich shop, appropriately named Noon Midtown. I should say, don’t get too excited guys, she’s been off the market for a while.
On any given day, you’ll see Birmingham bounding about her restaurant with an ear-to-ear smile, tending to one of the many customers that descend during the lunching hour. Her approachable personality and high-energy attitude is infectious to say the least. Hopefully, her time here will give you a little insight into what drives her to do what she does. Alright ya’ll, time to get down to brass tacks. And with that, welcome to ITCK!
