## Story

The Toasted Yolk announced today that it has signed an area development agreement with Operators Christopher Heck and Denita Taylor to open a 4,100-square-foot restaurant in Elizabethtown in the spring of 2022.

“We’re thrilled to be expanding into Kentucky,” said Toasted Yolk CEO and Co-Founder Chris Milton. “Christopher and Denita are well-known business owners in Elizabethtown, so we’re proud to partner with them as they identify strategic local opportunities for our brand.”

Locally known by their real estate agent nickname, The Chris and Dee Team, the couple currently owns and operates general contracting businesses in the area. After meeting with Toasted Yolk Franchise Developer Clay Carson, Co-Owner Matt DeMott and Milton, Heck and Taylor immediately knew the leadership team is genuine and passionate about the brand’s future.

“There is without a doubt a need for a brunch concept in Elizabethtown,” Heck said. “We couldn’t think of a brand better suited to fill that void than The Toasted Yolk. The executive team’s vision is impressive, and the food and service is outstanding. We can’t wait to bring the first Toasted Yolk to Kentucky.”

The Toasted Yolk offers a one-of-a-kind breakfast, brunch and lunch experience. With fan-favorites like its famous Churro Donuts, Cowboy Scramble, West Coast Arnold and Club Sandwich, the chef-driven menu is unmatched in quality and freshness. Of course, it’s never too early to get toasted. Guests can enjoy a full bar with everything from classic mimosas, frozen Bellinis and bloody marys to Rise ‘N’ Shine Punch and Jackie’s Morning Rita.
