Louis DiBiccari

Louis DiBiccari is a young burgeoning chef and culinary artist whose burst his way onto the scene in Boston. Like many of the famous chefs of our time, Louis DiBiccari is a homegrown talent. Celebrity Chef Speaker Louis was first exposed to cooking from his Italian mother’s distinct recipes.  Louis began experimenting with cooking during his time at Fitchburg State University in his apartment, and eventually decided to follow his budding passion and enroll in culinary school in Scottsdale, Arizona.  Needing to gain professional experience in the kitchen, DiBiccari’s first position came in the kitchen of the famous chef Christopher Gross’s restaurant Christopher’s Bistro in Phoenix.

Louis decided to move back to Boston at this point, and pursue an internship opportunity with the Season’s restaurant.  This helped jumpstart his career and landed him a position with Geoff Gardner at the Sel de la Terre.  He would spend 12 years there establishing himself as a definite player in the industry.  In 2008 he was named chef de cuisine at the Back Bay restaurant and was given full reign over the kitchen.  DiBiccari earned several awards for his work at the Back Bay including “Rising Star Chefs” by StarChefs.com.  Louis has also started a concept known as “Chef Louie Nights;” where guests vote on themes and ingredients on his website and on the morning of the event Louie and other participating chefs must scramble around the city for supplies and prepare the dishes on the spot.

In 2013 Louis opened his own restaurant, Tavern Road, in Boston with his brother Michael DiBiccari.  The restaurant has been a success, and it offers a distinctive menu filled with upscale bar-food options.  In addition to the sit-down restaurant, Louis has introduced a street cart with the Tavern Road name that offers select menu options on the street.  Louis DiBiccari has also developed an initiative called Create: six artists, six chefs, one canvas.  The idea is that a local Boston chef is paired with a local Boston artist and the goal is to collaborate create a dish that reflects on the artistic abilities of both the chef and artist.  The goal is to draw the relationship between culinary and visual arts with a unique perspective from the city of Boston.

hire-chris-cosentino

Chris Cosentino

Many of us are content to get our packaged meat from the grocery store or our favorite food service, but just ask Chris Cosentino and he’ll tell you we’re missing out. Celebrity Chef Chris has become known for a concept he defines as offal cooking, or taking the innards and usually discarded parts of meat and cooking them into delectable dishes. He gained notable recognition in the culinary world when he won the 4th season of the Top Chef Masters competition series in 2012 which donated the grand prize of $100,000 to Chris’ chosen charity the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. The chef’s other TV appearances include hosting duties of Food Network’s 2009 series Chefs vs. City, and appearances on other network hits The Best Thing I Ever Ate and Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern.

For over 12 year’s Chris has cranked out some of San Francisco’s best classic Italian style dishes at his restaurant Incanto which closed in 2014 to make way for his new more casual dining restaurant Porcellino. The restaurant was one of the hardest San Francisco eateries at which to secure a table and his new restaurant will usher in a whole new breed of customers and retain his loyal eaters. While developing his restaurant success, Chris also produces his own line of sausage products under the brand name Boccalone. His affinity for meats and the different ways to cook and season them led him to be featured on an episode of the History Channel series Modern Marvels where he explained how to cook pork brains.

Chris published his first cookbook in mid-2012 titled Beginnings: My Way to Start a Meal, which detailed some of the talented chef’s best Italian recipes for the home cook. Many anxiously await the release of his latest cookbook set to inform the public all about his perfected art of offal cooking.
