After attending business school at The University of Delaware and going to Grad school at the Culinary Institute of America, Aaron Ratner put his education and experience right to work. Immediately after graduating the CIA in Napa Valley, Aaron opened up The Blue Chicken based out of Smorgasburg in NYC. After a successful launch, Aaron continued to expand the brand until March of 2020. When the Pandemic hit, Aaron decided to shut down The Blue Chicken and take some time to regroup and find out what was next. After months of hard work, Aaron decided to launch a brand new burger joint called Paper Plate this past April. After a successful summer of a mobile business, Aaron is excited to be opening up Paper Plate’s first permanent location inside Williamsburg Market in early November.
