In October of 1993, Bob Kinkead opened Kinkead's, an American brasserie-style restaurant featuring fresh seafood. The 220-seat restaurant features daily changing menus, a 40 seat bar and lounge area, and nightly piano entertainment. In April of 1997, Kinkead's added a seafood and raw bar serving a selection of made-to-order soups, stews, salads, and a large selection of daily changing clams, oysters, and other shellfish.

Chef Jeffrey Gaetjen believes there are no shortcuts in cooking. Strong technique and methods are the key to a successful kitchen. Bob Kinkead always has been a strong believer in hunger relief. He has been involved in Taste of the NFL since its inception and has done other numerous hunger-relief events with the Taste of the Nation. Bob passed the responsibility to Jeffrey as the representative chef for the Redskins' Taste of the NFL team.
