OUR TEAM
Max Kuller, Owner/Operator
Max Kuller is a sommelier, restaurateur, and sustainability advocate. He is the founder of In Living Kuller, the restaurant group behind Estadio in Charleston and Oyster Oyster in Washington, D.C., which earned James Beard Foundation’s Best New Restaurant in 2021. Named one of Wine Enthusiast’s 40 Under 40 in 2018, Max brings a deep knowledge of wine and thoughtful sourcing to every table. His commitment to seasonal, sustainable ingredients extends to his small farm in Harleyville, SC, where he grows vibrant vegetables that inspire the menus at his restaurants.
Jeremy Gozlan, Executive Chef
Jeremy Gozlan cooks with intention and restraint, guided by seasonality and a deep respect for ingredients. His philosophy is rooted in simplicity: thoughtful sourcing, careful execution, and letting flavor speak for itself.
From his first Michelin-starred role at The Finch to his time at Lilia, Jeremy developed a disciplined, ingredient-driven approach that continues to guide his cooking today. In Charleston, his work at Zero George further refined his perspective, grounding his style in a sense of place and season. A recent fall spent cooking at Fogo Island Inn deepened his connection to coastal ingredients and landscape-driven cuisine.
At Estadio, Jeremy brings that same ethos: fresh, local, and honest food rooted in quality and care—vibrant but unfussy plates designed to be shared and savored.
