While enrolled as a marketing major at the University of Oklahoma, HERRITT STARTED WORKING IN KITCHENS THROUGHOUT THE CITY TO EARN MONEY FOR COLLEGE. He quickly learned that the restaurant business was his true calling and moved from the classroom to the kitchen, working his way through some of the area’s most prestigious establishments. In 2008, Herritt saw a small for rent sign in the upstairs window of The Marliave, a dining landmark in Downtown Crossing. The enterprising chef jumped at the opportunity to breathe new life into this hidden gem, which was opened originally in 1885 by Henry Marliave, a French immigrant who came to America to find his fortune. The refurbished restaurant features two dining rooms: The Upstairs which serves classic continental cuisine in a more formal setting and The Downstairs, which evokes the restaurant’s bootlegging days with classic prohibition-era cocktails and updated versions of the classic dishes.
