About Us
Warm, welcoming and hospitable describe Chef Darren Weiss and his new restaurant, Darren’s in Manhattan Beach, Calif.
“For me, cooking has always been about having fun and being creative,” says Weiss. “It’s also a very rewarding thing to do because when you cook for people, you’re sharing yourself with them through different interpretations of dishes and use of ingredients. In the end, it’s all about making people feel welcome and making them happy.”
