Meet Chef Darian Horn, Executive Chef for Devanney Hospitality Group, leading the culinary vision across Margaux’s Wine, The Garrison Pineville, and The Garrison Tega Cay!
Chef Horn brings an extraordinary career of service, leadership, and hospitality to our kitchens. A retired U.S. Navy veteran and former White House and Vice Presidential chef, he spent more than 15 years serving as a Naval Enlisted Aide within the executive branch.
His distinguished career took him from the White House Presidential Support Staff to the Vice President’s Residence, where he served under multiple administrations and prepared meals for some of the nation’s most prominent leaders and guests. His experiences later inspired his book, Behind the Kings Walls: My Story As a Naval Enlisted Aide to the President and Vice President.
Today, Chef Horn brings his decades of culinary experience and exceptional standard of hospitality to Devanney Hospitality Group.
We are incredibly proud to have Chef Darian Horn leading our culinary teams and helping shape what is next at Margaux’s Wine and The Garrison!
