MetroFresh
employs a crazy group of performers, artists, students, and just plain
fun people, all of whom are dedicated to make you feel at home in their
kitchen.
Heading
up the kitchen is Western New York native Executive Chef Bryan Kraatz,
who, when he is not creating amazingly innovative food in the kitchen at
MetroFresh, is performing in a rock band - no kidding! He earned his
nickname "Rockstar" because he really is a rock star - in the kitchen
and on stage. His band DEAR ENEMY plays gigs all over the southeast, but
the really cool thing is that he got his training as a chef at CIA
(Culinary Institute of America.) You have not lived until you have tried
Rockstar's Cassoulet, a warming winter meal with chicken, sausage and
white beans or his Cr?me Brule French Toast. Rocstar is particularly
brilliant at taking the everyday and making it MetroFresh magical. And
like me, Rockstar loves to incorporate flavors from all over the world
from Southeast Asia to South America, from Northern Italy to
Northwestern New York.
In the afternoon, the kitchen baton is passed to Miguel Navarette, who
they call Tio Miguel! Miguel worked as a line cook in many local
restaurants including Patio in Inman Park, Taverna Plakka, and Buckhead
Diner where his skills as a dinner chef were perfected. On a daily
basis, Tio Miguel, creates, cooks and plates beautiful, creative dinner
specials (as well as Sunday brunch) that are as distinctive and rich as
any restaurant in Atlanta. He has taken teh Metro Fresh dinner options
to a new level and is really the anchor of this peculiar tag team of
chefs.
