Welcome to
my kitchen.

Spreading joy through meaningful experiences and shared passion.

Chef Douglas Katz Wall Street Journal Illustration

My driving purpose as chef partner of Zhug and Amba is to create fulfilling, transportive experiences that nurture and inspire guests. A fun place to connect, share and experiment with robust flavors from across the globe. An escape where you can be adventurous and enjoy life in the comfort of a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Ultimately, I want people to know how much I care about them, and to exceed their every expectation. To do good, and to contribute in a valuable way to our community.
