40 Under 40: Marc Marrone, Chef & Owner, Graffiti Hospitality/SkinnyFATS

Marc Marrone

Chef Marc Marrone creates hospitality concepts that bring joy to the community. After nearly a decade with TAO Group, during which he oversaw global development and expansion, Marrone launched Graffiti Hospitality in 2018 with Todd Lunger. They quickly opened several successful restaurants before merging with Reed Slobusky and SkinnyFATS to form a group focused on expanding their restaurant portfolio.

Classically trained and well-versed in the art of vibe dining, Marrone says his passion for food began at a young age. Today, he’s a visionary leader who loves developing new brands and concepts while nurturing his ever-growing team.

Marrone’s restaurant Graffiti Bao is also active with the Delivering With Dignity program, preparing anywhere from 300 to 600 meals each morning for at-risk individuals and those in need. Originally launched as an emergency response effort in the early days of the pandemic, Marrone has provided meals for the organization since its inception.
