“Some of the best food memories come from the simplest moments, like a favorite snack after school, a bowl of noodles on a trip, or the first time you try something completely new,” said Jennifer Murphy-Ellamar, Vice President of Culinary Operations at Graton Resort & Casino. “That feeling is at the heart of Neon Kitty. We wanted to create a place that feels fun and approachable, where guests can reconnect with a taste they remember or discover a new favorite.”
