“It is gastronomy which so studies men and things that everything worth being known is carried from one country to another, so that an intelligently planned feast is like a summing-up of the whole world, where each part is represented by its envoys.” — Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Lauren Kendzierski, Founding Partner
Lauren's obsession with food began at 17 at a table in Bordeaux, France where wine, cheese, cepes, and pate de fois gras abounded. But it was under the tutelage of Damien DiPaola, at Carmelina's in Hadley, MA, where she experienced the true restaurant lifestyle. Here she grew from server, to manager, to pastry chef as she completed her degrees in Culinary Journalism from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Pastry Arts from The French Culinary Institute in New York City.
From that strong base, Lauren has continued to associate herself with the finest restaurants around the Northeast. On Martha's Vineyard the celebrated Beach Plum Inn and L'etoile became extended families. At Max's Tavern, of the Max Restaurant Group, a true dedication to the financial and organizational promise of an establishment allowed her to complete her Master's in Business and provided an alley to the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. It was at the Waldorf that Lauren worked to showcase a real taste of the celebrity and shine of our country's greatest city at one of the treasures of the industry.
Now with Aristology, Lauren is looking forward to presenting fresh energy and color to New Haven and welcomes everyone to her table.
