Where They Are Now
At Bicyclette Cookshop, Pfeiffer works from Naples and leads a kitchen built around seasonality, Gulf seafood, and local sourcing. Her approach treats technique as structure, not ornament, and leaves room for contrast: polished execution, regional produce, global influence, and a high-low wit that keeps the food direct rather than rigid. Her view of food also connects cooking to care: "Health wasn’t about restriction or rules; it was about attention."
Signature
Kayla's signature dishes include Wagyu Smashburger, Snapper Ceviche, and Caviar with Bugles.
In Their Words “Health wasn’t about restriction or rules; it was about attention.” “Cooking became a lifestyle, not just a job.”
