When I started my journey in this city back in 2019 we started as a food truck (Hot Buns). From humble beginnings, this city has taught me something that gave more meaning to my career - the sense of community. From that we were given the opportunity to open Perso.

This restaurant is where I have shared my stories and memories. It gave me the gift of meeting many people and some have even become friends. That led me to meet Chef Drake Aldrich, one of the most passionate professionals I’ve spoken with, about 2 years ago. It became my goal to work with someone who shares a similar approach to cooking and dedication. That goal finally came to a reality in January of 2026. I can’t be happier to have Drake in our growing team.

Perso has given me pride and joy in my work all these years, and it became our goal to do better, menu after menu. With this collaboration, our whole team is dedicated to push for broader boundaries.

It is here where we’ve showed what we’re passionate about. My ambition for Perso is to be the place where we can tell our stories through food. Perso will become a culinary playground for us to share with many. We can’t wait to explore this new beginning with everyone.

Join us for a special evening at Perso honoring the legacy and flavors of James Beard Award-winning Chef Kathy Cary and her iconic Louisville restaurant, Lilly’s Bistro.

Rich, silky and impossibly fragrant..

This dish was inspired by a traditional Middle Eastern dish called Ghalieh Mahi.

"I was introduced to this dish while collaborating on a benefit dinner years ago. I fell in love with the sour and tangy flavors that come fro the tamarind and fenugreek. And as the years have passed I have found many uses fro those flavors in a multitude of new dishes," says Executive Chef, Drake Aldrich.

"For Perso, I decided to pair the Ghalieh Mahi base with lentils and Black cod accented with a sweet and spicy Fresno chili relish and fresh cilantro and parsley."

Wonderfully balanced and rich in aromatics, this has been a favorite new dish from our Spring menu!

Join us for dinner! We can't wait to

see you.
