Chef Wells, what an exquisite fine dining experience we had for our 41st anniversary dinner. You did a splendid job in preparing our meal. Your conscientious and professional demeanor was greatly appreciated. It was the best dining out, I mean dining in, moment in our 41 years or marriage.
WHO'S IN THE KITCHEN
“PERSONALITY MATTERS...
In food and in people, most chefs
find themselves stuck in a kitchen unable to engage and interact with their clients. My clients actually talk to me. We get to know each other
as I cook for them.”
Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Chef Eric has always enjoyed cooking. As a youth, his mother taught him the magic of pairing different ingredients, spices and herbs to create marvelous dishes. Before she passed in 2003, Chef Eric promised his mother that he would take his passion for food and make it his career of choice.
