OUR STORY

“Growing up, I observed
how food united family
and made people happy”

Chef/Owner of Green’Z Artisan Salad & Pasta Co, Alex Hadidi
chef

During college in Minneapolis, Alex discovered his flair and passion for cooking through hosting popular brunches for his friends. In 1996, he packed up his Buick and left the Midwest for New York City to study at the French Culinary Institute.


What followed was two decades of cooking in 4-star kitchens across New York City, including Robert DeNiro’s Tribeca Grill, Fresco by Scotto, Aqua Grill, and an Executive Chef post at the internationally-renown Iridium Jazz Club.


Eventually, Alex made his way Santa Fe where he taught at the Santa Fe School of Cooking, worked as a private chef for a local family, then opened his first restaurant, Café Mimosa.


Today with his team at Green’Z, Alex continues to unite people over plates of delicious, healthy food at Albuquerque’s Tin Can Alley.
