Lauren Krall Ivey

Lauren Krall Ivey, Co-executive Chef at Olivero, has spent much of her career thus far working alongside Chef Sunny Gerhart in Raleigh, making it only fitting that the two have now partnered for their first Wilmington venture.  The partners first met while working for Ashley Christensen at Poole’s Diner in 2009, and Ivey considers both Gehart and Christensen to be important culinary mentors. Prior to her arrival in the Port City, Ivey served as Executive Chef of another of Christensen’s restaurants, Death & Taxes. She loves making (and eating) pasta and is excited about exploring Wilmington’s ever expanding dining scene.
