Chef Joe Symmes

nned and bottled all kinds of wonderful things to be shared with family friends and for our consumption at a later time. It is with fond memories that I look back at the places I have created and cooked, I have realized that each of those places still have small pieces of me and I have taken small pieces of them. The relationships that have been made with coworkers and patrons will last a lifetime, I believe this because of the amount of passion that goes into the preparing of meals, whether it’s a staff meal, a couples Wedding Menu, an Easter Brunch or a 50th Wedding Anniversary Dinner (My Favorite). I have come to conclude that my passion is with the guest, there expectation and experience is the most important aspect of every event no matter how big or how small. I strive to impress every guest with the freshest products, the cleanest culinary techniques and beautiful presentation. As a Chico local it seems every event I do there are friends and family present, I love that.
