Meet our Team

Meet Rich Parrott, the General Manager of La Griglia. With over 24 years of experience in the fine dining hospitality industry, Parrott keeps a "If we don't have it, we'll get it for you" mentality. He started his career with Landry’s in 2002 at the original La Griglia on West Gray as a busboy and became the General Manager in 2016.

Meet Chef Josh Oakes - Houston born and raised. Chef Josh is an avid skater and loves to give back. While in school he majored in science, where he enjoyed the combination of ingredients and what they can turn into. He was on a path to pursue his major in applied mathematics but realized quickly that he was not happy.  So he started a different path and entered the restaurant industry. Here he could use his love for science and create amazing tasting food. While working in the Grotto Downtown kitchen it allowed Chef Josh to be creative and try new ways to express his love of food. He has no limits, “Hell Ya” is what you will hear from him, ready for that next challenge. On almost a nightly basis, his post shift meal when he gets home is crunchy peanut butter and jelly sandwich but he gives it a little extra flavor with HOT sauce, hotter the better! Chef Josh is currently the Executive Chef at La Griglia.

Meet Vickie Guillory, the Special Events Manager at La Griglia.
