New York's Patroon
Ken Aretsky's Acclaimed Midtown
Spot Taps NYC Culinary Vet Bill Peet
New
York, January 19 - Patroon, Ken
Aretsky's acclaimed 10 year-old restaurant
with the "classic New York City"
dining experience, has a new Executive
Chef in the person of Bill Peet. Located
at 160 E.46th Street in midtown, Patroon
enters its second decade with the dynamic
cuisine of a sophisticated and accomplished
New York City culinary veteran.
Following graduation from the Culinary
Institute of America, Peet began a 15-year
association with the celebrated 4-Star
French restaurant Lutece, working as Sous
Chef for 12 of those years under the careful
guidance of the legendary Andre Soltner.
More recently Peet was involved in the
opening of "Pair of 8's," a
critically acclaimed neighborhood restaurant
on the Upper West Side of which he was
chef and owner.
"We're really thrilled to have Bill
Peet working with us here at Patroon,"
remarked Mr. Aretsky. "His food is
extraordinary and will be a huge part
of continuing the great dining tradition
we have had for ten years at this establishment."
Peet's career has led him to a variety
of prestigious posts including stints
as Executive Chef at Café des Artistes,
Asia de Cuba and "44" at the
Royalton Hotel. As Corporate Executive
Chef for Ark Restaurants, Peet was charged
with overseeing food and restaurant operations
for 26 different restaurants, bakeries
and nightclubs across the country.
In celebrating its 10th Anniversary, Patroon
is gearing up for many more years of providing
a classic New York dining experience and
a place for luxurious private affairs,
all under the watchful eye of Ken Aretsky,
one of the few remaining icons of the
New York City restaurant scene.
