Get to know me better

An elevated sense of presentation paired with a cultivated palate for perfection. I believe true excellence requires complete dedication.

I am a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. I am 30 years old and have been working in kitchens since the age of 16. I was born in North Carolina but grew up in England from the age of 3. I moved back to America in 2017, continuing to work as a cook before joining the Culinary Institute of America in 2019.

I have both FOH and BOH experience. I believe my knowledge and experience from working in kitchens in both England and America are unique assets that I bring to the table.

I am a very passionate chef who is extremely hardworking and loyal, and my mentality is that you have to love what you do and give it 100% otherwise, don’t do it at all.

I’ve spent the last five years refining my skills in Michelin-rated restaurants in New York City and, most recently, Boston.

Thanks,

Aaron Lyman
