Ruben Blake Griffin

I'm the new executive chef at Cork Wine Pub in Pleasant Ridge. I've been with the company since we opened right before thanks giving last year. I started off as a line cook and when the last chef left I took the bull by its horns and ran with it. I enjoy what I do because I get to work directly with local farmers and highlight Michigan produce and we have some of the best in the country! It's a hard, demanding and very gratifying job and I am blessed to be what I am doing, where I am doing it!
