When Ellis County native Philip Kuhn was 9, he was through with eating grilled cheese and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He decided to start cooking some specialty items for his four siblings. At 33, armed with years of experience, a culinary degree and a successful downtown restaurant, Kuhn is ready to be inventive again. Along with opening a barbecue restaurant, he’s starting a specialty market, which includes meats and homegrown lettuce produced in his basement. Kuhn learned how to make bierocks from his great-aunt Vi and how to fry bacon from his grandmother. After graduating from Hays High School, he attended culinary school at the Art Institute of Colorado and worked for restaurants in Dodge City and Hutchinson. Five years ago, he headed home to Hays to open his own restaurant, The Press.
