Chef Arien

I've let my clients know, now I'm ready to let everyone else know. G-d is good. Every moment, success, failure, and defeat, has led to this.

We have to listen to those who came before us. They speak what they know. The ones before me had more faith in me than I did at times.

"Stay the course"
"Stay focused"
"Do what you love"
"The rest will come"
"Someone is always watching"

I'm proud to announce that I am the new Executive Chef at the Crown Plaza, an IHG Hotel.

Thank you to my clients who carried me. Thank you to Pappas for teaching me more than I ever thought possible. Thank you to the Hilton and the St. Anthony for giving me my start in this business. Thank you for all the mentors along the way, and the ones yet to come.

And most important. G-d. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

... let's get it!
