Chef Dan

Dan Armbruster is a classically trained chef from the French Culinary Institute with over 25 years of restaurant management experience. Following culinary school, Chef trained under some of the leading top chefs and restaurateurs in the industry in five major food hub cities including New York City, Key West, FL, The Virgin Islands, Newport, RI, Nantucket and Boston, Massachusetts.

Dan also worked in food sales for a local sustainable food purveyor in Boston. This experience connected Chef to Boston’s culinary heartbeat, food trends and customer base. He specializes in catering and has gained the bulk of his knowledge from working for Wolfgang Puck perfecting his craft executing multiple parties and events ranging.

Travel has been a great part of Chef Dan’s life. Hearing the inspiring stories of his father Papa Grande drove Chef Dan to take adventures. Even at a young age, if he couldn’t physically travel, Chef Dan would take advantage of his diverse hometown New York City to seek out different cultural foods and learn their culinary creations. He immersed himself in the different ingredients and why each culture cooked with the products and techniques they did. He loves how food defines each culture through memories of their culinary comfort creations. Chef Dan would like to for you to enjoy these foods without having to travel hundreds of miles to do so.
