CHAD WELLER
RUMI | Miami, FL
Biography
Rising Star Bar Chef Chad Weller has always been interested
in the restaurant business. After graduating from Ohio State
University, he moved to Miami and joined the bar staff of
the Forge Restaurant as a bar back. After one week on the
job, he was thrown behind the bar and cajoled into making
drinks. Weller next spent two years at the glamorous watering
hole in the Delano Hotel, before moving over to Rumi Restaurant,
where he has served as Bar Chef and Manager for the past two
years.
Weller’s knowledge of mixology comes from his hands-on
experience behind the bar. His creations take flight depending
on his mood and customer requests, which tend toward the tropical
given Rumi’s beach atmosphere. Weller’s favorite
thing about being in the business, besides many a fun-filled
night, are the lifelong friends he’s made along the
way.
