01

02
The wine list as a business
Beyond the kitchen, Garrick manages wine programs and pairings — the quiet, margin-defining work of the hospitality trade that rarely gets discussed on a stage. It's the kind of operational detail AEF's room was built to surface.
03
Feeding the community
He's known for connecting fine dining with the community through events, education, and volunteer work, including efforts with organizations like World Central Kitchen — proof that a food business can anchor more than a menu.
Why They’re In The Room
The operator's seat — Mobile's food and wine economy, run from the kitchen.
