Kevin Rasberry is on a mission to make every meal at The Grove at Trelago a memorable one.

"It's exciting because you have that moment to make that first impression, and that first impression means everything," he said. "I always tell everyone you don't have a second chance on a first impression, so you've got to put your best foot forward."

As The Grove at Trelago sets to open as Starling's newest community, Rasberry is taking on the role of Director of Culinary Services. His sights are set on exceptional food that will be enjoyed by all.

"Cooking is a passion of mine because everyone has to eat," he said.

Rasberry will create food with a twist, keeping in mind how important each meal is in people’s lives.

"Everything starts and ends with food. Food is my passion. So I'll give it my all!" he said.

Rasberry will oversee The Grove at Trelago's bistro, main kitchen and amenity items.

He has more than 18 years of experience in hotel, banquet, fine dining and hospital settings.
