\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n

Christopher Collins is a fourth-generation restaurateur and founder of local restaurant group, Common Ground Culinary<\/a>. After graduating from Boston University with a degree in hospitality management, he was invited to join Hillstone Restaurant Group\u2019s famed management program. \u201cI learned the restaurant business from top to bottom, food to equipment,\u201d says Collins. Prior to a formal education, Collins says watching his father taught him \u201cit\u2019s all about soul. A restaurant is not just a building.\u201d He now lives in Phoenix with his wife and two sons and has successfully opened Valley favorites like Grassroots, Twisted Grove Parlor & Bar, The Collins Small Batch Kitchen, The Macintosh and Sweet Provisions. We had a chance to catch up with Collins to learn more about his ambitions as a chef as well as Common Ground Culinary\u2019s identity, mission and vision. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

AFM: <\/strong>What inspired you to begin\nCommon Ground Culinary? <\/p>\n\n\n

CC: <\/strong>After opening Grassroots in 2011, I wanted to make sure that our local brands had synergy and after about a year of writing down different names and concepts in my journal. I settled on Common Ground Culinary as the parent company of my future hospitality group.\u00a0I believe that food is a centerpiece of our lives and is one of the few things that brings a community together. No matter if we\u2019re gathering family and friends, celebrating wins and even losses, getting together with food fosters common ground amongst our community. <\/p>\n\n\n

AFM: <\/strong>Tell us about your life before the start of Common Ground Culinary. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

CC: <\/strong>Since I was a boy stealing bacon in my dad\u2019s restaurants, I knew that I wanted to spend my career in a kitchen.\u00a0I received a full ride swimming scholarship to attend Boston University\u2019s School of Hospitality and was recruited by Hillstone restaurant group to join their management training program.\u00a0While with Hillstone, I traveled to six cities and experienced operations as a kitchen manager and general manager.\u00a0After leaving Hillstone, I worked at elements under Chef Beau McMillan and at Royal Palms under Lee Hillson, learning different cooking techniques and operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

AFM: <\/strong>Tell me a little bit about\nthe restaurant group’s history. <\/p>\n\n\n

CC: <\/strong>Common Ground Culinary has achieved so much in such a short period, starting with the opening of our first concept, Grassroots Kitchen & Tap in 2011 at the Via De Ventura and Hayden location. In 2014, I opened my first Phoenix restaurant, now known as The Macintosh at the Town & Country Shopping Center.\u00a0In 2015, we launched Twisted Grove Parlor & Bar in the same center as the original Grassroots.\u00a0In 2016, Sweet Provision, our homemade ice cream shop and bakery, opened. Plus, I purchased the Wally\u2019s American Pub N Grill in Gainey Ranch from my father and did a slight rebrand as Wally\u2019s American Gastropub.\u00a0In 2017, Common Ground Culinary opened its second Phoenix restaurant, now known as The Collins Small Batch Kitchen at 32nd<\/sup> Street & Camelback Road. Most recently in the fall of 2019, we launched our catering concept, Arcadia Catering Company, to help service the Phoenix and Scottsdale communities\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

AFM: <\/strong>Where do you see Common\nGround Culinary in the future? What are your goals?<\/p>\n\n\n

CC: <\/strong>We will continue to look for unique\nopportunities to open neighborhood focused concepts that cater to the\nsurrounding community. Common Ground Culinary has no desire to leave the Valley\nand will focus all our attention on being the best local hospitality group.<\/p>\n\n\n

AFM: <\/strong>What can we expect from\nCommon Ground Culinary in 2020? <\/p>\n\n\n

CC: <\/strong>No immediate plans for new concepts,\nwith the recent roll out of Arcadia Catering Company, we are focused on fine\ntuning and expanding our catering operations to serve our community.  <\/p>\n\n\n

AFM: <\/strong>What is the restaurant\ngroup’s accompanying mission statement and values?<\/p>\n\n\n

CC: <\/strong>To serve and reflect our communities\nand neighborhoods while offering uncompromised service and quality to the\nfamilies that support our group.<\/p>\n\n\n

AFM: <\/strong>How would you describe your\nrestaurant group’s identity? <\/p>\n\n\n

CC: <\/strong>Casual fine dining that offers guests\na place to enjoy as a family, on date night or with colleagues for a business\ngathering.<\/p>\n\n\n

AFM: <\/strong>What can we expect upon\nvisiting a Common Ground Culinary restaurant? <\/p>\n\n\n

CC: <\/strong>Friendly and hospitable service paired with high-quality cuisine at a fair price in a clean and well-appointed environment\u2026.plus some fun and laughs, because why not?<\/p>\n\n\n

AFM: <\/strong>Of course, we must ask,\nwhat is your favorite dish from any Common Ground Culinary restaurant? <\/p>\n\n\n

CC: <\/strong>I\u2019m in love with our pizzas at The Collins.\u00a0The dough comes from a 10-year-old sourdough starter and the wood-fired oven puts out beautiful and perfectly crisp pies.\u00a0My absolute go to is a tossup between the Atta Boy and Mushroom & Sausage pizzas. —Aubrey Martin<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christopher Collins is a fourth-generation restaurateur and founder of local restaurant group, Common Ground Culinary.
