Corner Kitchen to Serve Pre-Hauntfest Brunch

October 25, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

12191590_604152613056002_3185336539768400664_nOctober 29th is Hauntfest in the Oregon District, the annual costumed celebration that closes down  Fifth Street for the festivities.  Because of that, Corner Kitchen, located at the intersection of Fifth and Wayne Streets,  will be closed that evening, but will open up that Saturday for a Pre-Hauntfest Brunch from 11am – 3pm.

Owner Natalie Skilliter was excited to share plans for the day with DMM.  “We LOVE Halloween. The staff is dressing up on Friday, Oct. 28 and for the Brunch on the 29th–it’s a lot of fun.

croque-madame

Croque Madam -a French twist on grilled ham, cheese and egg sandwich.

Last year, the kitchen dressed up as the Village People and broke out in dance to the YMCA. We had an Elvis that serenaded tables as well. It was a hoot!”  We weren’t able to find out if a new group number is planned for this year, but we’re guessing there will be something special planned that is just as entertaining.

In traditional brunch style, the menu will be a mix of breakfast and lunch foods and according to Skilliter, “we’re still working out the details, but I know we’ll have steak & eggs, croque madam, pancakes, burgers and  mussels. Plus, we will have a Bloody Mary bar!”  Expect brunch entrees to be in the $9-$16 range.

Update:  The brunch menu is now online.

Corner Kitchen To Open Tues, July 21st

July 14, 2015 By Lisa Grigsby

11390018_565227190281878_5980097416459290632_nIt’s been a long time coming, but as of next week the Corner Kitchen will open it’s doors on the corner of 5th & Wayne in the Oregon District.  We revealed the name and plans for this eatery last October.  The remodeling of this former nightclub took a while, since it had never had a kitchen in the space.  Due to the make up of the building, the venting of the kitchen hood meant the work couldn’t get done over the winter, and owners Jack and Natalie Skilliter had to wait until this spring to get the kitchen work done.

Chef Jack describes Corner Kitchen “as a ‘finer diner. We intend to provide our guests with mouthwatering updates on many familiar classics. Corner Kitchen will bring a warm spirit to Dayton, a relaxed mood and affordable, farm-fresh food.  We will feature delicious food prepared with love and entirely from scratch and our flavors and our service will be exceptional.”  While Chef Jack handles the kitchen, Natalie’s years of experience in the front of the house should give the new restaurant the smooth service needed for success.

Serving dinner Tuesday through Saturday, from 4:30-10pm and until 11pm on the weekend.  The restaurant will be available for private events during the day.
