    • Randall's on the orchard

      Sept 2012 - Sept 2014
      Chef

      Randall's on the Orchard is widely regarded as one of the Lehigh Valley's premier, upscale steak and seafood restaurants. As a chef in Randall's kitchen, I functioned as a valuable team player, running an extremely busy broiler station while coordinating the activities of line cooks. I also was instrumental in training new kitchen staff, as well as the pantry chef. From the time I arrived, until moving to my next opportunity, the business in this restaurant tripled.

Because their restaurant team was an integral player in the revitalization of downtown Allentown, I enjoyed a fast-paced and challenging business environment which required me to constantly improve my game, both in terms of culinary creativity and quality as well as refining my knack for running an efficient and cost-effective BOH business operation. My menu and specialties received high praise in Lehigh Valley Magazine as well as Good Taste Magazine. Show less
