The Kitty Knight House Restaurant on Marylands Eastern Shore is celebrating its 250th anniversary this year. Home to a rich history, it is one of the few houses left standing when British troops burned the twin villages of Georgetown and Fredricktown, Maryland during the War of 1812. The residence-turned-restaurant with a commanding view of the Sassafras River harbor has undergone many changes over the last two centuries. This year it also sports a new chef, Randy Pyren.

Pyren has his own rich history. Born in Bowie, Maryland, Pyren enjoyed a stint in the U.S. Navy in the late 80s, followed by Culinary Arts School, and then on to an impressive array of posts, such as Executive Chef at Hemingways Key West Grille and Kitchen Manager at Wolfgang Pucks Grand Caf, both in Denver, Colorado. In Colorado he met his wife, Karen, but the call of Marylands Eastern Shore brought the couple home, where they now enjoy a house in the country and a less stressful lifestyle in Kent County, Maryland.
