In the vibrant culinary landscape of New York City, One Wall Street is thrilled to announce the addition of Executive Chef Shani Hylton to our distinguished team. With an impressive background spanning prestigious institutions and a passion that was kindled in his parents’ kitchen, Chef Hylton brings both exceptional talent and a fresh perspective to The One Club’s dining experience.

A Culinary Journey Rooted in Passion

Chef Hylton’s love for the culinary arts began where many great chefs discover their calling—at home. What started as helping hands in his parents’ kitchen evolved into a lifelong dedication to mastering the craft of cooking. After graduating high school, he honed his skills across various restaurants, laying a solid foundation for what would become a remarkable career.

In 2008, Chef Hylton made the pivotal decision to move to New York City, seeking new challenges and opportunities to expand his creative horizons. This bold step would prove to be transformative for his professional trajectory.

Rising Through Prestigious Institutions

Chef Hylton’s talent and dedication quickly earned him recognition in some of New York’s most iconic cultural institutions. In 2013, he joined Restaurant Associates at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where his innovative approach and culinary expertise flourished.

His career reached new heights in 2020 when he was promoted to Sous Chef and went on to open Genesis House, curated by Onjium—a project that showcased his ability to blend tradition with contemporary flair. His impressive career path continued as he ascended to Chef de Cuisine at the Guggenheim Museum, where he had the invaluable opportunity to train under renowned chef Alejandro Cortez.

Beyond the Knife and Pan

Throughout his distinguished career, Chef Hylton has demonstrated expertise that extends far beyond creating exquisite dishes. He has developed operational structures for back-of-house teams and supported various units, contributing his expertise to multiple restaurant openings and menu developments. His comprehensive understanding of both the art and business of culinary excellence makes him an exceptional addition to One Wall Street.

When he’s not creating culinary masterpieces, Chef Hylton nurtures his curious mind by watching documentaries and sci-fi movies. Perhaps most interestingly, he maintains a deep appreciation for marine life and aquariums—a passion that reflects his attention to detail and appreciation for natural beauty.
