When we talk about creative
people in the restaurant world, we are usually talking about chefs who own
incredibly successful restaurants and have become famous doing what they do
best – creating culinary masterpieces. Pat Kuleto is more of a carpenter than a
chef, and even though he has labored in a variety of restaurants, he is not to
be confused with Emeril Lagasse or Alain Ducasse. Having said that, Mr. Kuleto
has found a way to create a host of masterpieces of his own that have made him
one of the premiere restaurant professionals in America.
Pat Kuleto has achieved fame and
fortune as a restaurant designer with over 160 restaurant projects to his
credit. His award-winning design concepts include the likes of San Francisco’s Fog
City Diner, Chicago’s Papagus, the Buckhead Diner and Chops
in Atlanta, and Kuleto’s and Postrio in his hometown.
