Chef Elliott Farmer

creations with culinary students and the general
public throughout the United States and Canada. These requests include special events catering,
guest cooking class instruction, book signings,
food tastings, and demonstrations. Chef Elliott was born and raised by a myriad of
exceptional cooks and his palate for rich flavors
and diverse textures matured before he did. He
experienced his first success with the creation
of his mother’s southern-style cornbread recipe
when he was only five years old and learned to
perfect his craft as the years progressed. As a
teenager, he worked as a busboy in a prestigious
hotel and soon thereafter trained under three
certified chefs who set him on his path to being
the master chef he is today. Chef Elliott has successfully catered for over
25 years and is widely known for his unique
menus from soul food capitals to dishes that are
sophisticated in flavor, yet true to their origins. His
“soul food with a jazzy flair” combines casual and
familiar with creative and authentic. He creates an
experience that marries comfort, warmth and a
fusion of soul flavors. This three-part combination
creates the Chef Elliott experience.
