JOSEPH HOFFMASTER EXECUTIVE CHEF Chef Joseph Hoffmaster started in the industry at age 17 and has been in it for 13 years. He worked at casual family dining places to get started, and after a few years he was opening kitchens throughout the southwest. After earning his culinary degree, he moved on to work briefly at Culpepper s and then began to work for the Magnolia Hotel where he worked his way up to Executive Sous Chef for 5 years. He then left to come to Dakotas as the Sous Chef for a little over a year before returning to Dakota s as the Executive Chef. Chef Joseph states that the opportunity to become the Executive Chef at a 4 star steakhouse has given him the chance to put himself on a plate, which is why he returned to Dakota s. The most unique thing about Dakota s is that it has been a true hidden gem in the heart of Dallas for such a long time. People are really starting to find out about this place and when they come in they are truly blown away. Where else are you going to get all of that while having the option to enjoy a romantic evening next to a waterfall? CHRIS ROWBERRY GENERAL MANAGER A member of the Dakota s family since 2011, Restaurant Manager Chris Rowberry has over thirty years of experience in the restaurant industry. Beginning in St Louis, MO, Chris got his fine dining start with Morton s of Chicago, which eventually brought him to Dallas in 1992. He has been a part of Dallas icons Nick & Sam s and Chamberlain s. Chris hand picked Dakota s for the next step of his journey, thrilled by the challenge to grow a then 27 year-old restaurant with a great history into something more. JANAY CARGILE SALES AND MARKETING MANAGER Janay Cargile comes to Dakota s as Sales and Marketing Manager handling personal to corporate events, social media and advertising.
