Wisconsin Supper Clubs, Minneapolis restaurants and hotels, Pam Sherman (those of you who’ve been around as long we have, will remember Pam) and Le Cordon Bleu have all been graced with the culinary wisdom of Chef Van. His résumé hails from a Midwestern sensibility — growing up in Wisconsin, cutting pastry with his mom and grandmother. But his insights extend far beyond: He’s cooked all over the world! We’re happy for all the fantastic contributions he’s made to our guests’ culinary explorations. Van is one of the Cooks who make it all work. Thanks, Chef Van. Check out all of Chef Van's Classes.
