Owner and Head Chef:

“Who’s your chef?”

Born and raised in France, the “art de la table” is second nature to Dominique Fontenille. His drive and passion for excellent cuisine lead him to be one of the youngest graduates of the famous “Ecole Hotelière de Saint Chamond” culinary academy in France. With his culinary diploma in one hand and a spatula in the other, Chef Dominique left his home country to expand his horizons. The young chef, was sought after by several high end restaurants, and chose to cultivate his techniques at the world renowned five star "The Royal Garden Hotel" in London, England.

After conquering the European culinary world, Chef Dominique sought out a new challenge: the American melting-pot. Dominique moved to Chicago seeking out new ways to satisfy the American palate. This was the beginning of an undying love between the young chef and American cuisine.

The Mid-West quickly became home and Chef Dominique settled into the great city of Sioux Falls.  Many of you know Chef Dominique from Theo’s and 601 Arota; now he is dedicating his talents exclusively to catering to ensure that your event is perfect.
