ABOUT OUITA MICHEL
Ouita Michel has always made locally grown ingredients a priority in her restaurants.
Thatβs why the cuisine is so good.
“For me, while studying French and Italian cuisine, I realized they use local agricultural artisan products in their food. And that’s why it’s so good. That’s why from the beginning of wanting to be a chef, I’ve committed to supporting local agriculture. Buying local is a tradition that we seemed to abandon for a few decades. I love cooking straight from the garden.”
She and her husband, Chris, bought the Holly Hill Inn in 2000 and opened the fine dining restaurant in May 2001. Michelβs use of locally sourced foods helps sustain Bluegrass family farms and provides her customers only the freshest, best-tasting fine cuisine. The devotion to local foods is evident also at her other restaurants: Wallace Station Deli just outside Midway; Windy Corner Market and Restaurant and Smithtown Seafood, in Lexington; The Midway Bakery, Midway; and Woodford Reserve Distillery outside Versailles, Ky., where Michel is chef-in-residence and operates Glennβs Creek CafΓ© and Glennβs Creek Catering. Her latest restaurants, Honeywood and Smithtown at the Summit, opened in 2017 at the Summit at Fritz Farm development in Lexington. Michel will open her eighth restaurant in downtown Lexingtonβs renovated courthouse in 2018.
