Patrick Stark is a graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America (C.I.A.). He started in the corporate world, opening several locations for O.S.I. Patrick then created his own private dinner party service, called “The Stark Raving Chef.” Patrick is an avid musician who decided to combine his passions for music and food. He became the executive chef for the well-known Granada Theatre in Dallas, Texas. His success prompted Granada’s business owner, Mike Schoder & Julia Garton, to open a new location adjacent to the theatre. “Sundown and the Granada” became Patrick’s venue to pursue his desire. Local ingredients, organic, grass fed, free range, vegan, and gluten free are standard to the Chef’s menu. Patrick has also pursued his music, playing several local Dallas bands, including his newest project "Amuse". Patrick accredits a lot of his artistic inspiration with food and music. He has since championed the education and evils of GMO’s (Genetically modified organisms) to the local audience, thus inspiring him to start his own non-profit charity, "The Mohawk Militia"(www.mohawkmilitia.com).This has gained attention, spreading his word on several news shows. He has appeared in D-magazine, Dallas Morning News, The Observer, Good Morning Texas, The Taste, and Fox 4 Good Day.Recently, Chef Patrick appeared on Cut Throat Kitchen. What is next? Stay tuned.
