The journey to becoming a chef is truly never complete, says Chef Aaron Vangor. “There’s always a new challenge and a never-ending excitement with culinary life.” His earliest cooking lessons were at his grandmother’s side because she wanted to pass down family recipes. Lately, Aaron’s biggest influences are the café guests he serves, as well as other chefs. He says that he’s a visual learner, so working next to talented chefs inspires him and keeps him current on food trends. His menus reflect the varied interests of his guests, from traditional comfort food to super-healthy, and nutrition-forward dishes.
