Co-Founder
Patrick's journey began in humble beginnings, growing up in the heart of New York City beneath the shadow of the Manhattan Bridge. In a compact 500 sq ft tenement apartment shared with his parents, grandparents, and older brother, he learned the value of hard work from a young age. Negotiating $3-5 chore deals with his mom—tasks like dishes and floor scrubbing—unwittingly sparked his lifelong passion for hospitality. Starting as a busboy at just 14, Patrick dove headfirst into the bustling world of hospitality. From navigating wild nights behind the bar to inadvertently causing wok fires in the kitchen, each experience added fuel to his entrepreneurial spirit. Patrick's journey is a testament to resilience, innovation, and the transformative power of hard work.
Patrick draws inspiration from New York City's vibrant food scene, blending it with a world of culinary experience, including formal training in Malaysia, Singapore, and a degree in Holistic Nutrition.
