I’ve had the great opportunity to work with Chef Chris Aquilino several times over just the last couple of years and he is one of those guys that immediately I want on my team. He is professional, has integrity and is very kind. I’ve been fortunate to share stories over dinner and so happy to call Chris my friend.

 Chris has an exceptional ability to see the big picture while never losing sight of the details that actually make food programs succeed, from execution and training to culture and brand integrity.  Whether building teams, developing concepts, or navigating complex operational challenges, Chris operates with purpose and credibility—and that’s rare. I’d work with him again without hesitation.”
