Art Catrow, Executive Chef Mercyhurst University
With 30 years of experience and a decade with Parkhurst, Chef Art’s passion for food was shaped by his mom, neighborhood BBQs, and a beloved neighbor named Mrs. Maria. He’s inspired daily by his team and the trust his General Manager places in him. To Chef Art, Parkhurst feels like family - built on support, camaraderie, and integrity. Participating in the Caring for Kids Family Meal was an easy yes. His dish, a tribute to the global comfort of dumplings, is meant to evoke connection, warmth, and the joy of gathering around the table.
