Jamie Kennedy
The making of a monarch: Headed up the kitchen (with Michael Stadtländer) at Scaramouche in 1980. Opened Palmerston in 1985; ruled the Yorkville lunch scene with JK ROM from 1994 to 2003.
Territorial holdings: Jamie Kennedy Wine Bar, Jamie Kennedy at the Gardiner and his booming catering company.
Expansion plans: A new café-style restaurant, retail food shop and event space, called The Gilead, in Corktown (this spring); a 30-seat restaurant and tavern on Kennedy’s farm in Prince Edward County (next year); plus a restaurant at the Brickworks (2010). The city’s love affair with the Kennedy brand is far from over.
