about us
Our family has been proud to call Georgetown home for the last eleven years. We love this area and this community, and we are so pleased to have the opportunity to serve our friends and neighbors at Simmer Down.
Owner/Chef Chris Marino was born and raised in Pennsylvania, but he got to Texas as quickly as he could! He has apprenticed under a number of chefs in fine dining and country club environments. He has also taken every opportunity to learn something new, and has worked in small diners, senior living communities, and catering companies. Chris doesn't stay still for long, and he is always on the lookout for new and exciting ideas, and loves to learn from others who have varied backgrounds and approaches to cooking. All of this experience over the past 20 years has created, in Chris, a chef who is dedicated to hard work and putting out a superior product that will satisfy the entire family.
And speaking of family....that is the heart of everything Chris does. He is a devoted father and husband, and easily opens his arms and heart to welcome others. Once you meet him, you'll understand the phrase "doesn't know a stranger" because Chris has a true gift for building friendly relationships and establishing a "family" feel with everything he does.
We look forward to welcoming you all to the Simmer Down (and Marino!) family!!
