👨‍🍳 Chef Spotlight

👨‍🍳 Chef Spotlight: Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar

Let’s give a big foodie cheer to the crew at Whiskey Cake Kitchen & Bar, recently crowned Best New Restaurant! Since opening in Alliance Town Center, they’ve been winning hearts with scratch-made dishes, craft cocktails, and a cozy, welcoming vibe.

What sets them apart? It’s all in the details: crab fritters, goat cheese fondue, and chicken & waffles that make brunch a must. Brunch regulars are obsessed with the crab Benedict and those colossal cinnamon rolls. But the real star? That signature sticky toffee whiskey cake—one bite and you’ll understand the hype. The team’s passion for hospitality and flavor has made Whiskey Cake a fast favorite in our foodie family. If you haven’t been yet, this is your sign to go—just save room for dessert!
