Tickets are required for this event and we do expect to sell out. Kramer and Hymanson will only be signing books purchased through City Lit. Thank you for understanding!
Sara Kramer, a born and bred New Yorker and former Broadway performer, loves hosting dinner parties and enjoys all dairy everywhere. Kramer, in addition to being co-chef & co-owner of Kismet and Kismet Rotisserie, oversees the big picture and broader operations for the restaurants. When she’s not working, you can find her practicing her serve on the tennis court or amongst her garden’s fruit trees with her pup, Kevin.
Sarah Hymanson, a Chicago native and former acrobat, feeds off of the multi-cultural vibrance of the broader LA restaurant community. A chef’s chef and co-owner of Kismet and Kismet Rotisserie, she’s a fiend for details, and when not in the kitchen with the restaurant teams, you’ll often find her eating Cambodian food in Long Beach or Sichuan in the San Gabriel Valley. On her days off she can be found collecting an ever-growing list of hobbies, including but not limited to gardening and sewing her own pants.
A native to Chicago, Courtney Storer was drawn to the restaurant industry as a teenager. After a brief career in Human Resources, Courtney attended the International Culinary Center and honed her philosophy as a chef and mentor. She has worked at acclaimed restaurants all over the world, including Verjus and Buvette in Paris and Jon & Vinny's, the Los Angeles restaurant group, where she served as Culinary Director for six years. After leaving Jon & Vinny's to start Coco's to Go-Go, her own private events and catering business, she also joined her brother Christopher Storer in the making of FX's hit show The Bear as Culinary Producer.
