Overview of Vetri
Vetri, a multiple James Beard Award winner who grew his first-floor dining room to a full building operation with offices, a show kitchen, and private dining room — plus a second outpost in Las Vegas and several other ventures — said he’d been offered the chance to buy the building several times in the past, but was never able to agree on a price.
Vetri, a James Beard Award-winning renowned local chef, restaurateur, cookbook author and philanthropist, that day had brought in a “visiting professor” to work with the class: Jeff Michaud, another James Beard Award winner and the executive chef and co-owner of Vetri family restaurants Osteria and Amis.
Vetri’s course includes a lineup of “visiting professors” in addition to Michaud, including Adam Leonti, chef de cuisine at Vetri Ristorante, who will demonstrate bread- and macaron-making techniques, and Brad Spence, a chef and partner at Amis who showed students how to butcher three whole lambs.
Vetri Community Partnership’s rebranding strategy was fully developed this past summer, and Herrenkohl said the nonprofit worked with brand strategists who helped the organization talk through exactly who they are, what they do, what they want to do and how they can communicate that message more effectively.
Vetri serves as active member of the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (ASRA), American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP), and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA). He is also served as invited speaker for international conferences.
Vetri made his debut as a cinematographer in the film Agaram and then he got a break with the action drama film Thenavattu (2008), before working on the comedy Maasilamani (2009) and the successful horror film, Muni 2: Kanchana (2011) with Raghava Lawrence.
Vetri’s business partner, Jeff Benjamin, announced his exit from URBN in August, and has since been working with chef Kevin Sbraga on the city’s forthcoming Fitler Club, a private social club set to open in 2019.
