Meet Executive Chef Darryn Gray
Raised in Bear, Delaware, Darryn Gray grew up in close knit family that didn’t need an excuse to have friends and family over for dinner.

Darryn began his restaurant adventures at Camp Arrowhead in Lewes, Delaware, washing dishes. After being a server at numerous restaurants and managing Freddy Wraps in Newark, Delaware, Darryn realized his love of food and decided to go to culinary school. He graduated from The Art Institute of Philadelphia in 2011, doing his work study at Harry’s Savoy Grill.
