  • Story #059 - Dennis Littley
    Feb 24 2022
    Chef Dennis Littley started cooking at a very early age and drew his early inspiration from Graham Kerr, the Galloping Gourmet. After completing his training as a chef’s apprentice, he went on to work at white tablecloth restaurants, in corporate executive dining, and finally at an all-girls Catholic high school. After 3 years at the school, he created a Culinary Training Program that brought acclaim to the school and was used as a model for other schools around the country via the foodservice company he worked for.After retiring from professional cooking, Dennis became a food blogger, where he would become known as Chef Dennis by his fans and readers worldwide. He has expanded that content creator role into a food & travel blogger, a chef speaker, a brand ambassador, and a digital strategist. This past year his blog had over 8.5 million page views with over one million followers on social media. A native Texan who lived most of his life in the Philadelphia area, Chef Dennis now resides in Kissimmee, Florida with his wife Lisa. He credits an old family friend Mama Jeanette with teaching him his core values and how to listen to food. His goal is to share his recipes and the best cooking tips to make his listeners feel more comfortable in their own kitchens and to help them find the joy of cooking!CULINARY SCHOOL AFFILIATION: Culinary Apprenticeship, Culinary EducatorWebsite – https://www.askchefdennis.comEmail – dennis@askchefdennis.comInstagram – http://www.instagram.com/askchefdennis Sign up for the Food Media Network newsletter & email list: https://foodmedianetwork.com/contactFree Culinary School Stories Recipe eBook: https://bit.ly/culinaryschoolrecipesElite Personal Chef: https://www.stephanieheller.com RATINGS / REVIEW: If you enjoy this episode or the podcast overall, please consider leaving a short review and ratings on Apple Podcasts / iTunes if you have an iPhone or iPad.
