Last August, Kitchen Sync announced it would expand to a second location in Greenville’s Eastside, along Hudson Road in the former Dragon Den space.
On Jan. 7, the Laurens Road restaurant announced the expansion comes with a new chef – Ted Prater.
Prater has a long background in the culinary world with a portfolio that has led him from dive bars to fine dining. Notably, he helmed back of the house operations in Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden in Austin, Texas for 12 years. Locally, he was most recently the program director and adjunct culinary instructor at the Culinary Institute of the Carolinas at Greenville Technical College.
In addition to leading culinary operations at the restaurant’s flagship location, Prater will assist in guiding the expansion.
“Our goal is to transition from a really good restaurant into a great company,” said Kitchen Sync managing partner and co-owner Kevin Feeny. “To do that we need to continue to recruit, hire and retain great people in an increasingly competitive and volatile industry environment. Ted is a fabulous mentor and has a long history of successfully helping employees become their best selves.”
Kitchen Sync is located at 1609 Laurens Road in Greenville, with its second location expected to open sometime early this year at 2420 Hudson Road in the Brushy Creek Shopping Center in Eastside Greenville. The new location is currently hiring back of the house positions. Those interested should apply at kitchensyncgreenville.com/jobs.
