Watch Hill | Newport<br />

Donated by Mark Kallick and David Moore<br />

For the past nine years, homeowners Mark Kallick<br />

and David Moore have hosted many charitable<br />

events in their unique kitchen. Taking advantage <strong>of</strong><br />

an amazing view <strong>of</strong> the entire city was the “design<br />

decision” that combined five distinct spaces –living<br />

room, dining room, music room, breakfast room<br />

and kitchen, into one open floor plan. Interior<br />

Designer, Judy Holland <strong>of</strong> Greiwe Interiors enlisted<br />

Kathy Dietz and Ed Kramer <strong>of</strong> CabitDesign and<br />

together, the team worked to create a sophisticated<br />

and functional kitchen. <strong>The</strong> use <strong>of</strong> top grade<br />

appliance (Sub-Zero and Wolf), a custom door<br />

style and range hood and a unique footprint has<br />

kept this kitchen current.<br />

Cabinetry is primarily cherry with Makoraoutlined<br />

diamonds, as well as curly maple<br />

accents. <strong>The</strong> island is both curved and angled. It<br />

is an incredibly eye-catching kitchen, completely<br />

original and a dream for cooking and entertaining.<br />

Curtis and Susan Smith’s Italian travels inspired their hillside<br />

Tuscan Villa overlooking our city. As depicted in the painting on<br />

the goal. Interior Designer, Judy Holland <strong>of</strong> Greiwe Interiors chose<br />

CabitDesign to provide the cherry cabinets with a light chocolate<br />

glaze to achieve the warm tones that are echoed in the African Sapele<br />

flooring. Featuring Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, along with a<br />

custom-painted limestone island, this “kitchen with a view” embodies<br />

timeless design.<br />

DEBORA’S<br />

DeBora’s was founded in July 2010<br />

by Chris Rohde <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cincinnati</strong>,<br />

Ohio. Chris grew up in a family <strong>of</strong><br />

food lovers. His family’s functions<br />

always included great food and<br />

great friends. While Chris’ family<br />

is very supportive <strong>of</strong> each other, he<br />

credits his mom, Debbie, for his<br />

adventurous and fearless love <strong>of</strong><br />

cooking. DeBora was his mother’s<br />

childhood nickname and as a<br />

tribute to the countless times they<br />

spent together cooking as well as<br />

her insistence that Chris never stop<br />

pursuing his dreams, he decided to<br />

name the company in memory <strong>of</strong><br />

her. Chris’ mother died <strong>of</strong> melanoma<br />

in March <strong>of</strong> 2009, but remains<br />

with him every day as he believes<br />

each dish has just a little bit <strong>of</strong> her<br />

influence and inspiration in it.<br />

www.deborascatering.com<br />

Chef<br />

CHRIS ROHDE<br />

A good chef is a combination <strong>of</strong> training and<br />

inspiration. I try to gravitate toward sustainable<br />

cooking. Early memories from my childhood<br />

family vacations in Leland, Michigan helped<br />

teach me the importance and benefits <strong>of</strong><br />

practicing sustainable cooking. It was while<br />

walking through historic Fish Town that I first<br />

learned the value <strong>of</strong> the freshest fish. I watched<br />

boats bring in fresh salmon, lake trout and<br />

walleye and stood in awe as the fishermen<br />

cleaned the catch <strong>of</strong> the day right in front <strong>of</strong> the<br />

customers and sold it fresh or maintained the flavor in their in-house<br />

smokers. To complement the catch, my family would stop at one <strong>of</strong> the<br />

numerous farmers markets and select the seasonal produce.<br />

My pr<strong>of</strong>essional training was no less inspirational. From my informal<br />

role as cook for my Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity brothers at Ohio<br />

University, to the general business understanding I gained with an<br />

Associate’s Degree in Business Management at the University <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Cincinnati</strong>, I was increasingly sure about my budding career as a chef.<br />

My skill-based training at <strong>The</strong> Midwest Culinary <strong>Program</strong> at <strong>Cincinnati</strong><br />

State was focused and enlightening. My various employment<br />

opportunities - as a level three Corporate Trainer, a Head Line Cook,<br />

Sous Chef and finally, an Apprentice at the prestigious La Petite Pierre<br />

in Madeira, Ohio, gave me real world knowledge and cemented my love<br />

for food preparation. It was in this last position that I knew I wanted<br />

to start a business perfecting the art <strong>of</strong> custom private catering. What<br />

better way to honor my mother and duplicate my family history <strong>of</strong><br />

food, family and friends gathered in celebration<br />

Old Stable Hill | Indian Hill<br />

Donated by Peter & Vicki Alpaugh<br />

Stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry and<br />

a built-in espresso machine, which serves as an<br />

in-house café, help create the farmhouse feel with<br />

modern day conveniences. Originally used as a horse<br />

stable, the homeowners chose to retain as much <strong>of</strong><br />

the rustic look as possible during the remodel <strong>of</strong> this<br />

home. Keeping with tradition, a variety <strong>of</strong> family pets<br />

come and go through the open floor plan, where the<br />

kitchen serves as a gathering place for all to enjoy.<br />

<strong>The</strong> white cabinets and dark iron hinges bring even<br />

more authenticity to this farmhouse feel. Baskets and<br />

other decorative accents hang from the ceiling and<br />

coupled with additional room accents, give the room<br />

a warm, welcoming feel.<br />
