Tony Phenis
Executive Chef
Executive Chef Anthony Phenis first found himself in a restaurant kitchen at age 15. This first taste of the hospitality world led him to attend and graduate from The Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park New York. His first professional restaurant job came in 1997 as executive sous chef of Tapatio, a Latin American Caribbean restaurant in Columbus Ohio. With numerous television appearances and cooking classes under his belt, he soon became a television fixture in the Ohio culinary world.
After a fulfilling stint as a sous chef in Columbus, Anthony headed to Chicago after catching the eye of Select Restaurants CEO John Quagliata. Over the next four years he headed up three restaurants as an executive chef to eventually captain their flagship restaurant, Pier W in Cleveland Ohio.
Leaving the Midwest, Phenis headed to New England in 2012 to manage a gastro pub with a chef from CIA. He then became corporate chef for Mill Restaurant Group of South Windsor, Connecticut.
After three years with MRG, Anthony decided to team with West Hartford chef Dorjan Puka to open up Artisanal Burger Company for DORO Restaurant Group. He intends to use his culinary knowledge and experiences to expand DORO Restaurant Group and keep ABC and other ventures in the forefront of the culinary world.
