Ready for a fresh perspective on the evolving world of hospitality?
On Sunday, September 14, at 9 PM (EST), CULINARY CONFIDENTIAL welcomes two seasoned insiders whose careers have helped shape the luxury hotel experience in New York City: Kevin and Janine Fenton.
Kevin Fenton, currently General Manager at a premier hospitality provider, brings over a decade of leadership across some of Manhattan’s most iconic properties, including Hôtel Americano and Cachet Boutique NYC. Known for his ability to blend operational excellence with cultural programming, Kevin has championed the integration of curated dining experiences as a cornerstone of modern hospitality. His work has consistently emphasized the power of private dining to elevate brand identity and deepen guest engagement.
Janine Fenton, Director of Catering at a prestigious lodging brand, has spent her career crafting unforgettable events and culinary moments for high-profile clientele. With a background in communications and public relations from Hofstra University, Janine has held senior roles at Loews Hotels, Highgate, and The RealReal, where she honed her expertise in luxury service and event strategy. Her insights into the emotional and financial impact of private dining are rooted in years of hands-on experience across New York’s competitive hospitality scene.
Together, the Fentons will share stories from the front lines—how private dining has evolved from a niche offering into a strategic imperative, and why hotels that embrace intimacy and personalization are winning the loyalty of today’s discerning travelers.
Host Christina Cates brings her signature warmth and insider savvy to the conversation. A graduate of The Art Institute of NYC with over 20 years in the restaurant industry, Christina has held leadership roles at Tavern on the Green, The Palm, and Almond Tribeca. Her passion for food, travel, and storytelling shines through every episode of Culinary Confidential, where she explores the trends, triumphs, and challenges of the hospitality world with the industry’s most compelling voices.
