It’s hard to believe that it’s already been three years since we opened the doors to Warren American Whiskey Kitchen in Delray Beach and that tens of thousands of patrons have graced us with their presence since!
I somewhat begrudgingly left my happy job in downtown Delray to join the Damn Good Hospitality team and this very unique project because I knew something special was happening in West Delray with DGH and a like-minded group of people. I felt if didn’t I’d regret not being a part of it.
I was correct.
The last three years have been nothing short of amazing. We hit the ground running right out of the gate and haven’t looked back. In fact, looking forward (and forward thinking) is one of the reasons I joined this team. None of the principals or management are ready to rest on their laurels, in fact, just the opposite.
Damn Good Hospitality is a group that is always asking; “what’s next?” “What can we do better?” “What haven’t we thought of?”
It’s that “What if?” mentality I believe that separates us from a lot of our peers in the industry. Appreciating our successes but never always thinking about innovation, how we could be even better and my favorite; where can we go and find the best whiskey in the country and bring it back here?!
That all can be challenging but also a lot of fun and exciting to be a part of. I wouldn’t want it any other way!
In the last three years I’ve had the honor and pleasure to host literally hundreds of guests at my Warren Bar in the beautiful Warren Whiskey Library. Included in that group are many famous distillers, some of the biggest whiskey aficionados in the Southeast as well as some people who simply are intrigued by our favorite brown spirit and want to learn more about it! I enjoy hosting all of them. I’m truly spoiled with great guests!
I am also enthusiastic, happy and passionate to help spread the word about Warren Culture and our love of whiskey, great cuisine and hospitality!
I’ll be headed to our newest venture, the beautiful and second Warren in Naples, FL, today to teach and work with their great staff, do a class for their WCC members, and spread the good word about our amazing and favorite brown spirit as well as the culture that is Warren American Whiskey Kitchen and DGH.
What a life!
What an honor!
Here’s to the future!
