Looking forward to what Coles 735 Main and chef Cole are Cookin’ up for Lexington Restaurant Week keep a look out on Wlex 18 News (Lexington) for a taste test😋
Thank you all for the support and votes! Cole Arimes, our Executive Chef and Owner, has been named Lexington's Best Chef for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW!
Chef/owner life is a lot less Food Network glamour and a lot more everything else. We're most likely to find Chef Cole running from restaurant to restaurant wearing a funny (punny) t-shirt, multitasking, mentoring a team member, fixing some plumbing, covering for someone in the kitchen, donating a benefit dinner, camping with the kids, updating restaurant systems and, our favorite...supporting his people in every way he can.
Cheers to Chef Cole, and thank you Lexington and Smiley Pete’s 2026 Best of Lex campaign for the recognition!
