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.

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.
