Chris Lemieux

A 25+ year veteran of the food hospitality industry.  I started to work in the industry immediately after turning 16 years old.  After graduating with a degree in Economics from UCONN I continued to pursue restaurant management.  I worked for a very prominent family-owned restaurant in Vernon for many year.  in 2009 my wife and I purchased a pizza restaurant in Guilford and operated it for four years.  After having 3 children we decided to move on from business ownership.  I connected with a good friend in South Windsor and did catering and banquets for many years.  I was approached with an offer to help start a new up and coming restaurant concept owned by Burtons Grill and Bar.  I accepted the offer to bring Red Heat American Tavern to South Windsor in February of 2018.  It is a very exciting time for us as the business is rapidly growing both in the location itself and throughout the east coast.
