"I love cooking. I went from job to job, club to club looking for a home and a mentor to guide me. Meadowbrook has been that home for the last 8 years. I've learned so much and love the environment that Chef Bush and the team have created."

- Mike Lathrop, PM Sous Chef | 8 Years at Meadowbrook


"Meadowbrook has opened paths for me to further my culinary goals. I've taken advantage of the opportunities Chef and the team have presented, from learning multiple stations to participating on the ACF student team. Chef has also worked with my schedule while I'm in school, allowing me to continue developing both professionally and academically."
