The departure of Chris O’Harra from the Flying Rhino in Worcester has paved the way for a new executive chef at the Shrewsbury Street restaurant: Drew Day.
Day, who has been the executive sous chef at the restaurant for four years, will take over for O’Harra, who left the restaurant to team up with Worcester-area restaurateur Adam Hicks at new Canal District spot Maddi’s Eatery and TapHouse.
Day has 15 years of experience in the restaurant industry, including in niche markets in Boston, according to an announcement from Flying Rhino. His culinary expertise was formed while traveling and vacationing around the world, including a stint living in Europe when he was younger.
“If you want to know the history of the location you’re in, look at their cuisine,” Day said. “You’ll be able to get the story and background of global influences that have inspired your favorite dishes today.”
The handoff to Day should be seamless, as he and O’Harra have worked together for four years. Relationships formed in the food industry can be very mentor-mentee-based, Day said.
“You can almost trace someone’s lineage back through the years of who they apprenticed under, and it’s very romantic in that sense,” he said. “I want to pass that kind of romance down to everyone that work and dine at Flying Rhino.”
