Forked owner needs scissors

Forked at Waterside opened Feb. 27, but the ribbon wasn’t cut until May 31.

“I needed to get all the craziness out of here, and now the dust has settled,” said owner Michael Kemsley (above). “The customers – they’re rolling in and out now.”

Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance members, customers and staff gathered around while Kemsley wielded the golden scissors to make it official.

Forked’s hours are 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The restaurant is open until 3 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Kemsley is already working on a second location on Orange Avenue in downtown Sarasota.
