Kyle and Katina Connaughton’s restaurant and farm, SingleThread has earned the top restaurant accolade in the world when it was awarded three Michelin stars. SingleThread has also been recognized on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants lists multiple times. Accomplishments that are nothing short of remarkable. Their secret is in the thoughtful way they incorporate their inspirations, and their relationship as a husband-wife power team. Borrowing from her time as a farmer in Japan and England, and her background in sustainable agriculture, Katina grows 70% of the restaurant’s produce on their 24-acre farm. Kyle’s dedication to their restaurant is similarly inspired by his experience in Japan and global, world-class culinary education. Their approach to hospitality honors the Japanese concept of omotenashi, which centers around care rather than expectation. They’re also avid travelers and find great inspiration in the outdoors.
