A long-time veteran of the Atlanta restaurant scene, Chef Drew joins the Farm Burger herd with over 27 years of experience in fine-dining and a passion for local farming and sourcing.

He is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and has perfected his skills studying under world-renowned chefs such as Jean-Louis Palladin, Guenter Seeger, Wylie Dufresne, Joel Antunes, Sam Mason, and Mark Dommen. In the past decade, he has led Buckhead’s Seven Lamps kitchen as executive chef and operating partner where he spent eight years creating handmade pastas, wood-fired meats, and seasonal and locally farmed vegetables. Most recently, he was executive chef at Atlanta favorite, Ecco Buckhead, where he implemented his unique cooking style to introduce dishes highlighting locally sourced ingredients.

“I have been a fan of Drew’s cooking for a number of years, and I couldn’t pick a better person to join our team,” said George Frangos, co-owner and founder of Farm Burger. “At Farm Burger, the quality of our offerings, from locally-sourced pasture-raised meats to final product are paramount, and Drew is completely aligned with our vision. He’s already bringing a new and exciting energy to our culture and to our menus.”

Chef Drew has been recognized for his outstanding culinary skills in respected industry and local publications throughout his career. In 2004, Food & Wine magazine recognized him as a “Chef on the Rise” during his tenure at Toast. In 2006, he was appointed executive chef of Saga restaurant where he received the “Rising Star Award” from StarChefs.com and “Most Memorable Plate of 2007” from Creative Loafing. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has also previously awarded him three stars for his creations. He is best known for developing and launching his own handmade pasta, Pan De Mie Pasta Company.
