Executive Chef Adam Esser
Barcelona Wine Bar Inman Park
Before Chef Adam Esser even started a career in food, he was living a life in one. His mother cooked for their Church banquet hall and he grew up working in the family restaurant–even if he was to take a short detour in undergrad, he found himself back on the path as he enrolled in the Culinary Institute of America. Following graduation, Chef Adam spent time touring the US, working in such kitchens as: Top of the Hub, Boston MA, Buckhead Restaurants, in Atlanta GA, Market by Jean-Georges, in Atlanta GA, Hillstone Restaurants, in New Orleans LA, and Del Frisco’s Grille, in Atlanta GA. Chef Adam now serves at the helm of Barcelona in Inman Park Atlanta, where his emphasis on rustic, bold, and ingredient show-casing flavors are right at home. His menu spans a wide spectrum of ingredients, from vibrant, fresh, vegetable preparations to, arguably his most prolific stylings: slow roasted, braised, and stewed Mediterranean comfort foods that belong as much on an Iberian grandma’s table as Barcelona’s.
