LUDINGTON — House of Flavors Restaurant, 402 W. Ludington Ave., has recently hired Courtney Patterson as its general manager. Locally, Patterson has worked at Chef John’s European Cafe and, for six years, bar manager at Table 14.

“Courtney is a dynamic hospitality and retail leader with over a decade of experience driving team success and exceptional guest experiences,” said Barry Neal, one of House of Flavors’ owners.

A native of Richmond, Va., Patterson built her career with Nordstrom’s Department Store, where she spent more than 10 years growing from the Richmond location to leading multiple departments and ultimately becoming a store manager in Washington, DC.

Her journey continued with a transfer to Tampa, Fla., where she successfully led Dillard’s Department store for two years before relocating to Ludington to be closer to family.

“I’m thrilled to step into this new manager role,” Patterson said. “Joining such a wonderful team is truly the cherry on top of this incredible opportunity. I can’t wait to work together to scoop up even more success.”

Outside of work, Courtney loves spending time with her partner Jeff and their dog, Park. They often explore new restaurants, travel, and enjoy everything the community has to offer.

Barry said that he and son-in-law Mike will continue to be present at the restaurant, especially in the busy summer months.
