Dish Society
First-time restaurateur Aaron Lyons created the casual, farm-to-table diner to make locally sourced food affordable and accessible as an all-day, everyday option for Houstonians. Catering primarily to families and young professionals, Dish Society hired KPC soon after launching its first location. Since then, KPC has worked closely with Lyon's team to raise awareness of the restaurant, keeping a constant spotlight on the brand’s fresh menus and mission and helping the restaurant move forward in launching four additional locations. Throughout hurricanes, the pandemic and more, KPC worked diligently to showcase Dish Society’s deft maneuvering to pivot and evolve service to best serve patrons and support the community with generous contributions and creative programming, including boosting farm partner bottom lines by launching a virtual farmers market for Dish Society customers and delivering donated meals to first-line workers. KPC also helped garner early enthusiasm and a huge turnout for the launch of parent company Five 12 Restaurant Concept’s second, highly ambitious sister restaurant, Daily Gather, which opened in CityCentre in January 2022.
