Main Course
Chef Brian Duffy
Corporate Executive Chef
Kildare’s

“I remember the first time I put my Chef’s jacket on, that was it for me, I was hooked for life.” Since then, the hard working, down-to-earth Duffy has dedicated his life to creating fabulous food. When he’s not in the kitchen or perusing the dining rooms of Kildare’s, he teaches cooking classes, makes public appearances and volunteers his time at local shelters and kitchens. Chef Duffy was recently anointed by the Today Show as the Irish Cook-off Champion and also makes regular appearances on NBC’s The 10! Show.  Duffy will infuse his mantra “Your mood is your food” into the evening’s entrée. Local flavors and foodstuffs will influence this creation—the travel time from the farm to your table will be mere minutes. Now that’s a fresh idea that leaves a good taste in your mouth.
