Description
Dominique grew up in Mers-sur-Indre in the central region of Berry near Limoges , France. He was greatly influenced by his grandmother, who cooked at several chateaux, as well as his mother and father, who is a pastry chef. At the age of 16 Dominique went to apprentice with his Mentor Michel Mennant of Maxim's. He also worked with Guy Legay at Ledoyen. Mr. Legay is a Meilleur Ouvrier de France in Paris and the chef executive at the Ritz famed L'Espadon.
He was sponsored by Roger Fessaguet of La Caravelle in New York. After 5 years at Le Chantilly as chef saucier and sous chef, Dominique became sous chef at Quo Vadis which was short lived. After he went to The Terrace as sous chef under the late chef Duscan Bernic, and eventually chef de cuisine where he stayed for 5 years.
Exploring another interest, Dominique joined his brother at a gourmet catering company in Bergen county where he currently lives with his wife and four children.
