Fletcher joined the Granite Restaurant & Bar in February 2010, coming directly to the Granite from the Colby Hill Inn in nearby Henniker, NH. Corey is no stranger to the Concord-area restaurant scene, having been the opening Chef at 55 Degrees, which for a few years was a popular Main Street wine bar and tapas (small portions) landmark.

"I'm very excited to be back in Concord and looking forward to re-connecting with many friends from my recent past. I’m particularly excited at the opportunity to build from Granite's significant accomplishments and hope to contribute to what has been its passionate focus on producing wonderful culinary interpretations of the unique bounty New England offers" (as in the past, Granite will continue with its many seasonal & regional providers).

Corey, a New Hampshire native, has followed his passion for cooking throughout New England, initially from summers at the Cliff House (Ogunquit, Maine) to winter/school year stints at Baldwin's On Elm (Manchester, NH) and eventually to sauté responsibility at Nantucket's Topper's at The Wauwinet (a Relais and Chateaux property). His cuisine favors simplicity that permits two or three flavors to heighten/not mask the core item in every dish.

Fletcher attended Southern New Hampshire University where he graduated cum laude in May, 2003.
