Jackie Carnesi, a former executive chef at a popular Brooklyn restaurant, was approached with a unique opportunity last year. She was asked to leave her current position and take on the role of chef at Kellogg’s Diner, a historic New York City diner that was on the brink of closure. The diner, located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, had shut down due to bankruptcy, and the new owners were looking to revitalize it while preserving its traditional diner atmosphere.
Despite her impressive background working at renowned establishments like Empellón Cocina and Roberta’s, Carnesi was intrigued by the chance to be part of a project with such deep-rooted history. She acknowledged that earlier in her career, she may have turned down the offer due to ego or pressure, but at this stage, she saw it as a unique opportunity to contribute to something with significant cultural significance.
Kellogg’s Diner, set to reopen to the public soon, is just one example of many old diners in New York City that have been saved from closure or demolition to make way for luxury developments. The trend of preserving these iconic eateries reflects a growing appreciation for their nostalgic charm and historical value in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
