All About Chef Charles
According to Chuck, his cooking career started as a young kid. “I was a
latch-key kid and had the TV on and watched a talk show that had a cooking segment
about omelets. I decided that sounded much better than the" Captain Crunch" I
was planning. I raided the fridge and half an hour later I was devouring my first
omelet. From then on I was hooked, I discovered PBS and became a regular viewer
of Julia Child and all the wonders of French cooking!” Chuck attended culinary
classes at Metro Community classes where he received the STAR award for not only
his outstanding grades, but for his involvement in Taste of the Nation, Share
Our Strength and Opera Omaha’s wine events. Chuck worked at some of the
top restaurants in town including V. Mertz, Le Voltaire and Nick's Main Street
Grill (Fremont). Chuck owned a catering/culinary design company for several years
called “Creative Culinary Concepts.” He also consults with local
restaurants to develop menus and design/implement restaurant concepts. His culinary
expertise is primarily upscale fine dining including “New American” and
French cuisine.
