Bio
Chris Choate
Ken is a true beverage industry professional. He is equally adept with a calculator or analyzing a glass of wine. He has great fiscal responsibility for the beverage programs he runs. I have always been impressed by his wine knowledge and deep understand of service, but his complete command of the business end of a beverage program is what really sets him apart.
Adam Betts
Ken possesses the talent and the knowledge to successfully run a wine focused beverage program. He is professional, likeable and affective. He engages staff and guests alike with ease and pursues daily operations with a well-rounded view of the business. Ken would be an asset to any restaurant.
