He grew up in two kitchens: One with his Deaf Mamma, and the other, his Irish Gramma. As a boy he was immersed in their culinary influences as they whipped up home-styled meals, and these experiences traveled to the depths of his soul and still remain. He is a self-taught chef whose journey began in the early 90’s. His culinary adventures brought him not only through different restaurants or catering gigs, but also all over the country, which contributes to his unique flair with food. His style consists of influences from Seattle; Los Angeles; Oakland; Berkeley; San Francisco; Pittsburgh; Frederick, MD; Little Rock, AR; and even to isolated Mackworth Island in Maine, where the food is local and sustainable.
Chef Kurt became renowned in the Deaf community after competing in America’s Hottest Chef contest, 2012. Hosted by Eater.com, Chef Kurt was voted as the Hottest Chef of Austin, TX. This led to a wildfire of attention and as a result, he was the champion and represented the nation in this social media contest. He went on to experience more fame after making an appearance on a well-known Food Network show, “Chopped.” Here he was a pioneer, being the first Deaf chef to be on this national cooking television show which got 17% increase in their normal rating average. Proudly, Chef Kurt was selected to be the American Chef to compete with six other Deaf Chefs from other countries for the world’s first ever Deaf Chef International Gastronomy and Culinary Event in Copenhagen, Denmark last November 2014.
After all the traveling and noise, Chef Kurt currently lives in Northern Virginia with his Deaf teenage daughter and son as he writes his first cookbook, a culmination of his 23 year journey with foodvizualizați mai puține
