Pat Alberto of 27Aluna

samedi 21 décembre 2024 • Durée 42:24

Today's guest is Pat Alberto, the owner of 27Aluna in downtown Rockford. He grew up in the Philippines and moved here when he was 18. His is an interesting background story.

Pat began his career journey at fast food joints before landing a job at Octane restaurant, the predecessor to 27Aluna in the space on N.Main St. He started as a dishwasher and part-time cook and then moved on to Abreo, where he connected with and learned from Paul Sletten, Abreo’s owner. Paul mentored Pat until he became Abreo’s sous chef, and once he’d spent several years there, he was ready to go out on his own. When Dan and Michelle, owners of Octane, offered him a position, Pat jumped at the opportunity. He became head chef and then later purchased the restaurant. With dedication and hard work, Pat managed to survive through COVID and ultimately created 27Aluna.

At Rockford Career College, the goal is student success. Students gather in Rockford in a friendly, small-class environment that feels like home. That means you’ll get plenty of one-on-one attention, unlike a big school. You’ll learn from highly qualified

and caring instructors, all of whom have real-world experience in their field. Classes are hands-on, so you can get a feel for what you’re learning. During the last quarter of your program, you’ll even enter an externship off-campus at a local employer, where

you’ll put your skills to work.

Join me in learning how two Rockford natives were able to start this small business and their big plans for the future of Terrakotta.
