Stacie Mathieu

Restaurant Manager & Beverage Curator

Stacie has more than 15 years in the food and beverage industry. Though you may see her around the restaurant interacting with guests, you’ll often see her behind the bar, making her signature specialty cocktails crafted with local ingredients. She has been with Azalea Bar & Kitchen since our re-launch in May of 2023 and is devoted to creating memorable experiences.

“[My] priority is to make Azalea a unique hangout to showcase the community and beauty of Asheville to visitors, as well as create a healthy work environment with a passionate team that works on bettering themselves and those around them.”

Lee Burns

Executive Chef

Lee grew up in nearby Sylva but lived all over the U.S., from Connecticut to Hawaii. In his travels, he has worked in numerous kitchens and studied French culinary techniques, but his love for cooking came from watching and helping his Nana in her kitchen. Some of our menu items, such as “Nana’s Puddin’”, are derived from her secret recipes.

David Moore

Sous Chef

David is a North Carolina native, having grown up in Winston-Salem. He has cultivated his passion for creating new dishes and learning during his 7 years as a chef. He looks forward to honing his skills working alongside Chef Lee at Azalea.

Brooke Svenningsen

Breakfast Chef

Chef B grew up in Charleston, but she considers the mountains and Asheville her home. She has been in the food and beverage industry in various capacities for more than 5 years and has a passion for cooking. However, she also loves working in the front-of-house, where she can make drinks and friends. Brooke's goal in the restaurant is to "Heal people through food and beverage and create memorable experiences."

Skeva

Special Events

Our restaurant wouldn’t be where it is today without the enormous contribution of Skeva, who assisted in cultivating the vision for Azalea Bar + Kitchen alongside Stacie before leaving to pursue their passion for helping others in the medical field.
