Executive Chef Michael Madden joins Om after working in some of the region's most celebrated restaurants. A graduate of Johnson & Wales, Madden first shined in Providence, RI as sous chef at XO Café and later at Lot 401, where he worked side-by-side with Chef Rachel Klein. Together they brought the restaurant to national acclaim winning a "Best New Restaurant" award in 2004 from Esquire. After a short stint in Florida, Madden reunited with Klein and worked side-by-side with her at Om and then at Aura in Boston. Now, as Madden takes over at Om as Executive Chef, he showcases his expert hand at a modern American cooking drawing inspiration from Southeast Asian street food. Madden's invigorating menus combine passion and a refreshing international perspective with new summer dishes such as Tograshi Tuna with udon noodles, Chinese broccoli, tempura long beans and lime chile broth and Five Spice Duck Steak with mustard greens, sweet potato and ginger sauce.
