August 24, 2019 with Ari Kolender
Ari Kolender began his culinary career in 2005, working in some of LA’s best kitchens, including Providence and Red Medicine. In 2012, he moved home to Charleston, SC, to work with the opening teams of The Ordinary and Leon’s Fine Poultry & Oyster Shop, where he was nominated as a semifinalist for the James Beard Rising Chef Award. In 2015, Kolender moved back to Los Angeles to helm Hayden Wine Bar where his seasonal menu has been mentioned in the LA Times, LA Weekly, Food & Wine, Bon Appetite amongst other publications. Sadly Hayden closed just a couple of months ago which has led Chef Ari to eat+drink along with a few new projects including upcoming Found Oyster in East Hollywood.
