Follese Culinary Consulting

A long story made as short as possible...with a lifelong passion for food, I began in the Hospitality industry with the Olive Garden. Starting as a Pasta Maker and making the rounds in the kitchen. I then pursued my education with Johnson & Wales University with a degree in Culinary Arts.

It was from here that I spent time across the country at Caesars Palace Nevada, Sheridan Hotels Miami Beach and some of the best white cloth table services in the S. Florida area for over 30 years.

During that time I honed my craft by becoming a Food Stylist for advertising agencies that created packaging, recipe books, menu board POS and catalogs. In addition to several national televised cooking segments on Food TV Network.

I continued to work my way through QSR, Catering, Family Casual & Fine Dining. It was from these experiences I have transferred my abilities to R&D work supporting manufacturers with National Accounts creating menu applications, establishing gold standards, product presentations and collaborating with national trend data supporting concepts that have converted into some of our nations best selling LTO's and new menu ideas.

I also lead Culinary Trend Tours across the nation with focus on your product in order to build and create the story you can share with confidence and pride.

I look forward to working with you in many capacities as it relates to your business in Culinary & the Hospitality Industry.

Thank you,
Chef Dan
