We are honored to feature Chef Danny Parada, Director of Restaurants for Pullman Market. With 15 years of culinary experience, Chef Danny brings remarkable drive and artistry to his work. He first joined Emmer & Rye Hospitality Group in 2015 at the opening of Emmer & Rye in Austin. Eager to refine his craft, he spent a year cooking in Sydney, Australia, followed by time in Chicago’s acclaimed Alinea and Lula Cafe, before returning to Emmer & Rye Hospitality Group. Today, he leads the culinary vision for Isidore, Nicosi, Mezquite, and Fife & Farro.
Under his leadership, these concepts have garnered significant recognition from the MICHELIN Guide. In the 2025 Texas Guide, Isidore earned both a MICHELIN Star and a MICHELIN Green Star, Nicosi was awarded a MICHELIN Star, and Mezquite received a Bib Gourmand distinction.
At the April 7 event, guests can expect an unforgettable evening of craft cocktails, curated tasting stations, exclusive access to the exhibition, and meaningful connections with fellow museum members, patrons, and community leaders.
Artfully Served is more than an event — it’s a celebration of creativity, community, and the transformative power of art and food shared together.
