arren Dawson is not your average chef. In fact, the 45 year old started out as a school teacher and spent many years at the same school he attended when growing up. Darren has now worked as a chef for 15 years but never in such a beautiful environment as the Safety Beach marina where he owns and runs the Boardwalk Café. “It’s tough coming here to work every day and having to look at that view,” said Darren with a laugh as we look out over the boats and waterways of the marina. “And I get to do what I love, which is cooking.”
