The Hidden Kitchen Workshop takes place at The Hidden Kitchen café, located inside the Imperial House condominium at 5255 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach. Guests enter through an unsuspecting back door staffed with a member of The Hidden Kitchen Workshop team who escorts diners to the dining room.

Conor Hanlon is Chef de Cuisine of The Dutch and Executive Chef of the W South Beach Hotel & Residences.  Adding a bit of homegrown local flavor to the Miami outpost of Andrew Carmellini’s roots-inspired American restaurant, Hanlon earned rave reviews from top media outlets including The Miami Herald, The New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler and Miami Magazine. Hanlon’s great success at The Dutch earned him a promotion in late 2013; the talented chef now oversees all resort food and beverage operations including banquet functions, in-room dining and overall food and beverage operations for the resort’s venues: WET bar & grill, Beach Cabanas, Living Room, The Dutch and Grove. Outside of the W South Beach, Hanlon has made his mark on Miami participating in foodie functions such as the Cochon 555 “Epic Pork Battle”, an annual competition where chefs create a dish using an entire pig. The talented chef also supports Slow Food Miami and Common Threads, two movements promoting sustainable food practices and nutrition education; The Dutch earned Slow Food Miami’s Snail of Approval Award in 2013.
