Listen to Jhy Coulter, restaurateur and creator of Orange by Devoured in Kansas City on The Hot Slice by Pizza Today
Jhy Coulter has always felt at home when working at restaurants. Even as her graphic design career grew, Coulter often kept a part-time job to stay close to the food industry. On Aug. 15, she will celebrate the one-year anniversary of her Kansas City-based pizzeria, Orange by Devoured.
In this episode of The Hot Slice, she shares how she started offering pizzas to family and friends through the fence during the coronavirus pandemic – an operation that grew first to include pop-up events and, ultimately, her first brick-and-mortar restaurant.
Coulter also reveals how spending time in Spain changed the trajectory of her life and career forever. Today, she works to incorporate elements of Spanish cuisine into the menu at Orange while being mindful of what she can sell in a restaurant market on the brink of skyrocketing to the next level while accommodating events such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
