We’re so used to meeting our clients in the kitchen to design their dream spaces—but this time, we invited them into ours to simply enjoy a meal together. That idea became the inspiration behind the McClurg Kitchen Series, a monthly gathering in our showroom kitchen where we welcome friends, clients, and local professionals to share good food, great conversation, and a little inspiration.
Kicking Off the Series
Last month, we kicked off our first event featuring Emily Gozy, local nutritionist and founder of Nourished with Emily. Emily came ready with easy, healthy recipes that fit perfectly into busy weeknights—or during those in-between moments when our team might be recreating your kitchen space!
Clients started the evening by sampling Emily’s Fiesta Black Bean Salad Dip; a colorful mix of fresh ingredients that’s just as good scooped up with chips as it is served over greens for a quick salad.
Then our guests got to work, as Emily led everyone through her 15-Minute Chicken Shawarma Bowls which are quick to prepare, full of flavor, and customizable for every taste. Guests made one to enjoy on the spot and another to take home. (Emily even made sure there was plenty left and stacked the team with healthy bowls for our team to sample later in the week!)
More Than a Meal
We’re lucky to build lasting relationships with our clients and love staying connected long after their projects are complete. The McClurg Kitchen Series gives us the chance to do just that. We got to see familiar faces, catch up over great food, and share a few laughs. Clients chat with project managers, carpenters swap kitchen tips, and everyone gathers around the island to share stories. For us, that’s what this series is all about: reconnecting with the people we’ve built relationships with, beyond blueprints and timelines, and offering something a little more personal.
What’s Next
The McClurg Kitchen Series will continue each month, featuring new guests, new flavors, and new opportunities to come together. Whether it’s a cooking demo, a wellness talk, or simply a shared meal, we can’t wait to welcome more of our McClurg community back into the kitchen!
