MANAGER SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK
GREG CHRISTENSEN

Greg is one of our 3 dining room managers here at AZN. He was born in Lake Forest, IL and moved to Naples when he was six years old. Greg graduated high school and moved on to get his degree in Business Administration from Flagler College. Greg has been in the restaurant field for 15 years and has literally moved from the bottom up with his first job being a busboy. He knows all facets of the restaurant industry and is so versatile he could step in as bartender if he needed too! He also has a very solid knowledge of wines and wine pairings.

His favorite dish at AZN is the Szechuan String Beans and Shrimp.

Gregs favorite sports teams come from Illinois. He is an avid fan of the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Bears. He spends his time off from AZN boating and spending time with his family which includes his 10 month old little boy.

We will be spotlighting our owners and managers. We hope everyone will feel free to comment and start discussions. We will take you behind the scenes of our restaurant so you may see for yourself the fresh ingredients we use in every dish.

We will also have a special "Chef" spotlight where we will feature our chefs and show you what a passion for cooking they have!

There will also be blogs about events and special tastings and wine dinners that are sure to please the palette and make you want to come back for more. We can't wait to get the blog moving along so our fans can come here and always get the inside track and be up to date on all that is happening.
