DONALD LINK
Chef PartnerA Louisiana native, Chef Donald Link was first inspired by the Cajun and Southern cooking of his grandparents. Over the past two decades, he has peppered the streets of New Orleans’ Warehouse District with acclaimed restaurants, including Herbsaint, Cochon, Cochon Butcher, Pêche Seafood Grill, La Boulangerie, Gianna and his private event facility, Calcasieu. For this James Beard Award winner, his partnership with Four Seasons is an exciting opportunity to spotlight the best of Gulf Coast regional cuisine while providing the highest standards in service. According to Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans General Manager Mali Carow, “Chef Link’s incredible, award-winning food, combined with this rare riverfront location, will make Chemin a la Mer one of the most prized dining experiences in the city."
