ABOUT THE CHEF

AARON WALTERS

Hailing from the small farm town of Hazen, Arkansas, I’ve always had a passion for food and cooking. My culinary journey took me to the Auguste Escoffier culinary school in Boulder, Colorado, before I spent four years as a private chef in Hawaii, honing my skills and developing a deep appreciation for diverse flavors.

In 2023, I returned to my roots, opening my first pop-up restaurant, Templeton’s, in downtown Rogers. The overwhelming success of that month-long venture fueled my passion, leading me to open my permanent champagne bar, Muselet, this past August.

This three-day pop-up is a chance for me to experiment and share my passion for food with you.
