About

Chef Whitney Flood is an award-winning chef. He graduated from The New England Culinary Institute, Montpelier Vermont in June of 2001. He began his professional career as an intern working his way up into a Sous Chef position at Sierra Mar Restaurant in Big Sur California. (Zagat Rated Number 1 in cuisine, 2003). While working at Sierra Mar, Whitney developed his cooking techniques using seasonal, organic, local foods always eager to experiment with new and unusual parings. A distinctive quality at Sierra Mar is it’s daily changing menu, which challenged and inspired Whitney. After honing his craft at Sierra Mar he moved to New York City and began working with Tocqueville – an awarding winning French Restaurant in Union Square. He started right off as their catering chef, organizing events ranging from a ten person dinner party to five hundred person gala’s with wine pairings and gourmet cuisine. Next in line was the Chef position for Marion’s A Go-Go, a catering company notorious in New York City for its elite fashion clientele. While at Marion’s, Whitney’s (Chorizo and Grilled Sourdough Baguette with Oil Piménton) received a full page write up in June’s 2006 issue of Time Out New York. Since opening his own business in Los Angeles he has been awarded two years in row best Entrée for the Nationwide “Cervena” Venison Contest. He also won awards for his Tapas creations through the annual Taste of Spain Contest.
