Meet our Chef

Chef Darren Dewalt
Chef Darren Dewalt began cooking professionally in the Seattle area, working
at the Schwartz Brother Restaurant Spazzo and Todd English inspired
restaurant Fish Club while attending Seattle Culinary Academy at Seattle
Central College.
While living in Tri-Cities Chef Darren has helped manage various restaurants
in the area including Taverna Tagaris, Picazo 717, Veritas, Ice Harbor at the
Marina and Bookwalter Winery. With a primarily Mediterranean
background in cooking, it’s the opportunity to work with local vendors
and farms that delights him and inspires his cuisine.
When not in the kitchen, Darren enjoys riding his KTM sport bike, taking
his kids to the pool and going on road trips around the Pacific Northwest.
He particularly enjoys Friday mornings where he peruses the local produce
at the Richland Farmer’s Market in hopes of getting inspired for his next
delicious dish.
