He has a real passion for creating beautiful food that tastes even better and makes people smile. The Team at Caroline’s is excited to welcome Adam to the team!

Editor’s note: Nancy Minahan founded the Denton Restaurant Group and with some collaboration of friends and family, came up with the name “Caroline’s”  to ground and place the concept. We had many wonderful candidates for Chef and Adam stood out.  It was not until he made it to the top of the list that we learned his mother’s name is Caroline,  and his wife's name is Nancy.
