Our Story Discover
My name is Rebecca Sussman and I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself, as there have recently been some changes in ownership at My Kitchen.
My husband, Yvan Lemoine, and I have both worked in the restaurant industry in different capacities for many years; Yvan as a chef and restaurant owner who has been on several Food Network Shows such as Chopped and Food Network Star, and I have managed different properties for Tao Group in Manhattan for over 10 years.
My Kitchen weddings are as intimate or as lively as you’d like them to be. We are at your Service and will help with every aspect. Our backyard is a perfect setting for Ceremonies or Cocktail.
Schedule an appointment with your other half and come in to see if we’ll be a perfect fit for you.

We were proud to stand with the Forest Hills community at this year’s National Night Out alongside the @nypd 112th Precinct and so many incredible local partners.
Giving back to Queens isn’t just something we believe in—it’s something we live, through food, through family, and through community.
Thank you to everyone who continues to show up and support local.

There’s a lot to respect about the way you move, @yvanboom —how hard you work, how much you pour into your business, and how you lead by example.
But what stands out the most is the way you are with your daughter.
Her face lights up when she sees you, and yours softens when you look at her.
You’re not just building a business—you’re building a legacy. And she’s lucky to call you Dad.
Today, we celebrate you. Happy Father’s Day.

“A unicorn in the city,” but it’s right here in Queens. 🗽🌿
Our very own chef and co-owner, Yvan Lemoine, shares his story in the Spring/Summer issue of Land & People by @trustforpublicland
From cooking at My Kitchen to walking Forest Park with his daughter, Yvan speaks on why the QueensWay—an upcoming 47-acre park and trail—matters so much to families, small businesses, and the future of our neighborhood.
This is about legacy, health, and building something beautiful together.
