About Chef Kenny

From my earliest reviews to the most recent, I'm proud to be overwhelmingly known for my innovation and consistent quality. My "Press" page contains many of these curated reviews from major publications accumulated throughout my career. 

I treat seasonal, locally sourced ingredients with utmost respect and passion, and present them on my plates with integrity and artistry.  To quote Michael Chiraello, "I like to make the ordinary, extraordinary". 

FUN!  I want to deliver FUN to everyone who comes through the door.  This rests in the level of courtesy, from the greeting at the front door to the coat check at the end of the night, and everywhere in between.  You don't come to a restaurant JUST for the food.  It's a time to relax and share an incredible experience with your partner, your family, your friends and colleagues. These are your expectations and my guarantee! 

I'm an extremely creative individual by nature which remains my calling card in the kitchen. I have seen it and done it, from the most humble to the most demanding haute cuisine. With my 30 years experience in the highly competitive NYC food scene, I am fluent and capable of cooking within any cuisine style on the planet, with my first love being Italian-Mediterranean. I have just recently married a Canadian and relocated to Toronto, Canada. I'm excited for this new chapter, further honing my creativity and experience in my new home!

I WANT TO CATER YOUR PARTY.  Let me and my team plan, design, and execute your special event.  Whether it's a dinner party in your home, a simple picnic, backyard BBQ, Bar/Bat Mitzvha's, all the way to an elegant wedding,  put your special event in my hands. for a memorable culinary experience. 

The level of experience and service I offer as an Executive Chef and restaurant consultant are comprised of my encyclopedic knowledge and hands-on education through years of building, operating, and managing the Front and Back Of House with a comprehensive understanding of atmosphere and cuisine styles. My passion, knowledge and experiences serve everything that I do.  I guarantee improvement in all aspects of the BOH, including inventory control, payroll and quality control.  I will also improve your FOH including all service points and menu training.
