A Michigan-native, Walker adopted Texas as his home state many years ago. He currently resides in Plano, TX where on his downtown he enjoys spending time with his four children, reading cookbooks, playing pool and hunting during open season. Executive Chef Isaac Walker has perfected a menu at that puts an elegant spin on regional foods from Texas, and the South. Walker will continue to feature ingredients from local purveyors and dishes influenced by cuisine in the region. Some of these local purveyors include Dallas Mozzarella Co., Dallas, TX; Jimmy’s Food Store, Dallas, TX; Veldhuizen Farms, Dublin, TX; and Gloria’s Tortilla’s, Fort Worth, TX. The cocktail and craft beer program features cocktails made with fresh juices, house made bitters and mixers.
“It’s a great privilege to join the culinary team at Hilton Arlington,” explains Chef Isaac Walker. “I constantly challenge myself to upgrade and update whatever is popular in the industry, and I’m looking forward to bringing my competitive spirit to my new role. I’m a firm believer that you can’t truly understand what customers want without spending time with them, so with that said I’m looking forward to meeting with guests to ensure I’m capturing the flavors and presentation they’re looking for.”
