PATRICK FAYETTE
HOMETOWN: QUEENSBURY, NEW YORK 2023 GRADUATE OF SUNY ADIRONDACK WITH A DEGREE IN CULINARY ARTS LINE CHEF AT RADICI
Brian Bowden and his wife, Carly, opened Radici in downtown Glens Falls in January 2020, just a few months before the COVID-19 pandemic hit and led to staffing issues. But the Bowdens were saved in part by developing a relationship with SUNY Adirondack.
“I reach out to Chef Matt [Bolton] at different times over the course of the year to see if he has any prospects,” said Bowden, who has had six interns from the college’s
Culinary program. “They have all worked out.” Chief among them is Patrick Fayette, a 2023 SUNY Adirondack Culinary graduate who was brought on as an intern at Radici his second semester in the program.
