THE VISION

INSPIRATION FOR WACO KITCHEN STEMMED FROM OWNER DIETER MORSZECK AND CEO SVEN LEPSCHY - PASSIONATE AVIATION ENTHUSIASTS THAT WERE MOTIVATED BY ADDING VALUE TO WACO EMPLOYEES, LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND THE ENTIRE AVIATION COMMUNITY. THEIR GOAL IS TO OFFER REASONABLY PRICED, NUTRITIOUS MEALS WITHOUT SACRIFICING QUALITY OR FLAVOR. SINCE OPENING IN JANUARY 2021, IT’S BEEN MADE CLEAR THAT THIS GOAL HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED – AND THEN SOME. 

AFTER A LITTLE LESS THAN A YEAR SINCE WACO KITCHEN OPENED ITS DOORS, MORSZECK AND LEPSCHY SAW THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND THIS VALUE TO THE LAKELAND, FLORIDA COMMUNITY. THUS, THE SECOND WACO KITCHEN WAS BORN WITHIN THE TERMINAL BUILDING OF LAKELAND LINDER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. BOTH LOCATIONS PROVIDE SECOND-STORY ACCOMMODATIONS WITH PANORAMIC VIEWS OF THE RUNWAY. WHETHER YOU GET THERE BY ROAD OR BY RAMP, DINING AT WACO KITCHEN IS AN EXPERIENCE UNLIKE ANY OTHER.

THE LEADERSHIP

CORPORATE OPERATIONS MANAGER, BROOKE PEMBROKE, HAS BEEN CARRYING OUT THE VISION OF WACO KITCHEN SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING. SHE IS SUPPORTED BY A STAFF OF INTERNATIONALLY TRAINED CHEFS WHO HAVE COLLECTIVELY ACCUMULATED OVER 30 YEARS IN THE FOOD AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY.

CORPORATE EXECUTIVE CHEF, JON WILLIAMS, UNDERSTANDS THE JOYS AND THE PRESSURES OF CREATING MEALS THAT ARE BOTH HEALTHY AND FLAVORFUL. AFTER OVER 25 YEARS IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY, CHEF JON IS EAGER TO OFFER CAREFULLY CURATED EUROPEAN-INSPIRED CREATIONS FOR EVERY GUEST THAT ENTERS THE DINING ROOM.
