Interview With Simon Lesky, Episode #7
Kelley and Emily sit down with local business owner Simon Lusky. Revel Kitchen all began in 2010 when Simon and Angelica moved to St. Louis for Simon to work as the Cardinals’ team chef. In 2012, the two began a side business out of their home preparing healthy meals for St. Louis Blues players and other elite athletes. As word of mouth spread, so did the need for production space. The couple signed a lease on a cafe on Cherokee Street that had the kitchen space they needed to prepare meals for athletes and also an eat-in area, which they called Athlete Eats. In 2015, the two decided to switch up their prepared-meal model and transition to a Brentwood location. The restaurant reopened as Revel Kitchen to welcome all foodies, not just athletes. Two years later, a second location opened in Clayton.
