COLEMAN
Chef Chris Coleman has worked in the
culinary industry since he was 14 years old.
Aer a brief stint in art school, Coleman
attended and graduated from the culinary arts
program at Central Piedmont Community
College. Coleman worked at McNinch House
Restaurant while he was still in school and
served as executive chef at e Asbury before
taking the reins of Stoke Charlotte, which
is located on the street level of the Charlotte
Marriott City Center. "We're cognizant of
the fact that we're located in a hotel, and we
want to show off for the travelers who stay
with us," Coleman says. A fan of cooking that
takes time, most of the dishes Coleman creates
at Stoke take four to five days of preparation
before they are served to customers.
