Executive Chef Kevin knows Louisiana cuisine. Born and raised in Independence, Kevin launched his culinary career working in his family’s restaurant. After graduating from the Louisiana Culinary Institute, Kevin worked kitchen stints at Café Nola in Ponchatoula and other area restaurants before landing the job that helped prepare him for running The Wedding & Event Center’s catering operation. As banquet chef at Southeastern Louisiana University, Kevin sharpened his skills as a high-volume, quality caterer and focused his sights on one goal: running his own catering kitchen. Harnessing years of experience and the good fortune of working with many influential, talented chefs, Kevin brings tremendous enthusiasm, knowledge, and a love of fine food to The Wedding & Event Center. Kevin has been part of our team almost since opening day.
