John G. Wilderman Founder of The Wilderman Group, announced the appointment of Chef Kermit Griffin as Director and Executive Chef of Richmond Hill City Center. Griffin, of Bluffton, SC, was appointed Executive Chef in April 2010 when the LEED-registered multi-use facility opened. Wilderman comments that, “Chef Kermit has demonstrated strong leadership and organization skills that perfectly complement his unique culinary talents.” As a major proponent of sustainable food programs, Griffin’s popular Chef Tables have created excitement and praise as he introduced the local and regional community to his unique farm-to-table cuisine with intimate gatherings and innovative tastings. Griffin, who earned his bachelors degree in Hotel Resort and Tourism Management from the University of South Carolina, brings more than ten years of culinary experience to the position, having started his career as a Saucier/Sous Chef at Germantown Cricket Club in Philadelphia, PA where he honed his fine-dining skills and garnered experience in banquets and catering with a focus on fresh ingredients and sustainable food products.
