The Watermark Hotel Welcomes New Sous Chef at Wren
Scott Han follows his culinary passion in Japanese cuisine
TYSONS, VA. — Wren welcomes Scott Han as their new Sous Chef to join their team. The DMV native found his way towards his culinary career by watching PBS cooking shows growing up and was inspired by how food culture could bring people together in happiness. Scott attended and graduated from James Madison University where he earned a degree in biology and worked for government contractors doing research and testing on mosquito borne illnesses.
After a time, he decided to follow his passion and turned to the hospitality industry. Scott gained experience and trained for management and worked FOH before moving his feet into the kitchen. After about 15 years in the hospitality industry and 13 of them being in the kitchen, Scott has owned and operated restaurants and was previously featured in The Washington Posts’ “Ultimate Guide to Ramen” for Kizuna.
Scott had his fair share of culinary experience in Chinese, Korean, Thai Indian and Modern American cuisine and has always focused on Japanese cuisine, which he is excited to further at Wren. When Scott is not in the kitchen, you can find him fishing in his free time. Depending on the season he can be found in freshwater, inshore or offshore saltwater fishing.
