Persons of Interest

Everyone has something to hide.

Chef Adrien Moreau, Head Chef / Owner, Wren & Finch in Caldmere
Chef Adrien Moreau

Sous Chef, Wren & Finch

Adrien's ex-partner — romantic and culinary. Precise, inventive, and starting to resent living in Adrien's shadow. Cool, methodical, observant.
