A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, chef Dave Hadley draws inspiration from the Southern Indian and global fare grew up eating. Hadley has worked at Bangkok’s two- Michelin star GAGGAN, noted as the best restaurant in Asia and the fourth best in the world in the 2019 list of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Prior to working at GAGGAN, Hadley held roles at various acclaimed Denver restaurants, including The Preservery, Biju’s Little Curry Shop, Nocturne, and Acorn. In 2017, he took home the title of “Chopped Champion” from the popular Food Network show and was also a semi-finalist in Zagat’s “30 under 30” rankings. Most recently, Dave has taken home the title on “Supermarket Stakeout,” which propelled the idea of creating his own brand – SAMOSA SHOP – in late 2021. You can find Samosa Shop at Honor Farm Haunted Spirits House in downtown Denver.
