From Sailor to Chef - Chef Martel Stone – Executive Chef of Kith/Kin

Today I'm interviewing Chef Martel Stone, the executive sous chef of Kith and Kin in Washington, DC. Chef Martel, a native of Philadelphia, started his life journey in the Navy. After serving the nation for five years, he left the service to travel and explore the world. His love of serious cooking began with a single French omelet challenge. Thirty dozen eggs later, he knew he had found what he wanted to do with his life and began his career by cooking in the kitchens in South Hampton Roads, Virginia. His vast culinary experience led to a key leadership role at Kith and Kin, a restaurant that Eater DC has named one of the top essential restaurants in the city.
