Michael Smith and Debbie Gold left Trotter's to work as Executive Chefs at L'Albion in the South of France; they returned to Chicago in 1991. When they heard that Kansas City's The American Restaurant was looking for a new chef they decided to apply together knowing they thrived as partners in the kitchen.

Their fresh simple unfussy American fare supported by the foundation of their extensive French training won the trust and loyalty of local diners. In 1999 they were given the James Beard Award for Best Chefs in the Midwest--a first for both them and for Kansas City. Michael and Debbie have continued to bring national attention to Kansas City.
