NJ Native, international influences
Edwyn Ferrari brings unparalleled expertise in
a myriad of cuisine.
Most recently, Edwyn worked with farmers in
Colorado to create sustainable menus and
value-added items based on their produce and
products.
Edwyn contributed to the opening of Del Posto
in New York.
In 2006, Ferrari was called upon by Morimoto
Masaharu to oversee his namesake restaurant
Morimoto in Philadelphia while another
Morimoto was opening in New York.
Edwyn and Masaharu worked side by side in the early days of Nobu . While managing and maintaining
Nobu NY, Edwyn spearheaded openings in London, Miami, Las Vegas and Nextdoor Nobu NY.
With the assistance of his friend Chef Aaron Sanchez, he opened MIXX at the Borgata Hotel Casino and
Spa. In 2008 Edwyn was recruited to help develop a similar concept for the billion dollar MGM expansion
at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. Ferrari was also the Executive Chef and co-developer of Shrine, an
Asian themed restaurant with emphasis on Thai, Japanese and Chinese foods.
Growing up in northern New Jersey, Edwyn began working in restaurants at the age of 14. Upon
graduating from high school, he joined the Army in hopes of getting “an edge on life.” He received much
more than that. The G.I. Bill opened doors to the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY.
