Chef Todd is an excellent private chef. Ive never tried veal and wanted to do so. He put together a menu just for us and prepared pan seared veal chops with one of the best sauces I’ve ever tasted (Roasted garlic and Rosemary Demi glaze) served in a bowl made of caramelized onion. Absolutely delicious..
Educated in the heart of wine country in Niagara Falls, New York, Chef Todd's love of French cuisine led him to the French Quarter in New Orleans. There, he learned classical techniques and the art of roux-based dishes. Over 30 years, he’s built a career in restaurants and catering as an authority on fine food preparation. Now, Chef Todd offers his expertise in cooking classes for student chefs eager to add to their skills.
