Chef Adrain Harrow launches Unique Syrups, all-natural food product

chef adrain harrow

Chef Adrain Harrow has been creatively stirring up exquisite food for more than 12 twelve years. Born in the culinary paradise of the south, East Baton Rouge, La., and raised in the suburbs of Cincinnati and Atlanta, Harrow’s experiences started in the kitchen with his mother (a pastry chef), aunts and both paternal and maternal grandmothers.

The kitchen was only the beginning of his love for great food. Harrow studied culinary arts at Le Cordon Bleu where he sharpened his skills and learned the value of good nutrition. Upon graduation, he worked in several restaurants in the Cincinnati and Atlanta area and served an internship at a well-known corporate company. Under the auspices of a renowned chef who required that all the products in the restaurant be made from scratch, Harrow perfected a delectable product he dubbed Unique Syrups. Venturing out on his own has allowed Harrow to continue his love for cooking by way of mixology and at the same time create flavorful, all-natural syrups for bars, restaurants and special events.
