A Passion for Food,
Rooted in France.

Francis was born and raised in Strasbourg, in the heart of the Alsace region of France, where he trained in Classical French Cuisine at the Lycée Hôtelier Charles de Foucauld.

After graduating, he honed his craft in the finest hotels and restaurants across France, Germany, Portugal, and Switzerland — building a deep passion for the traditions and techniques that define great cooking.

Before coming to America, Francis ran his own personal chef business, Un Chef à Votre Table (“A Chef at Your Table”), offering special occasion dinners and private cooking lessons.

He has since brought that same spirit of French-style cooking to Mendham and the surrounding communities — where every meal is crafted with the care, precision, and warmth of a classically trained chef cooking for family.
