Adam Nemirow | owner-manager
Having lived in twelve different states and Europe has opened Adam Nemirow’s eyes to how people from different cultures and customs enjoy a dining experience. After receiving a film degree from Denison University, Nemirow found himself enjoying the “sidejobs” at restaurants and hotels while trying to make it in the film industry in California. He hung up his film career and dove into the restaurant industry. He spent the next few years working as a chef in various Bed and Breakfasts and restaurants in Newport, Rhode Island. Knowing this was a definite career path, Nemirow attended Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, before receiving his MBA from Johnson and Wales in Providence. Breckenridge, CO and Vail Resorts was his next venture, managing “The Garden Room”, an upscale French Mediterranean restaurant, and the “Tenderfoot Lounge”, an apres ski piano bar. During a vacation to Charleston, SC, Nemirow fell in love with the food culture of the city. He took a job managing the well established Anson restaurant, where his current partner, Mike Lata, was the executive chef. Two years later they opened FIG, a tribute to their best experiences traveling abroad and around the country.
