Chef Sockrider Brings You New Orleans
Food and Beverage Scene

Chef Sockrider has over 30 years of experience in the business. The former Top Chef at Muriel’s Jackson Square has had an impressive career; he began his career mentoring under a chef formally trained, and master in his own right, in the art of Haute Cuisine. Upon discovering his passion for the culinary arts at such an early age, Chef Sockrider began perfecting his technique toward this type of culinary philosophy. He decided to be taught by other culinary masters that revered the same philosophy. While following this path he also was trained in the arts of Nouvelle Cuisine and Regional American and Creole Cuisine.

Before accepting the appointment at Muriel’s, he was the Executive Chef for the second largest hotel in Orange County, California overseeing some 4,400 meals per day out of a Haute French restaurant, Japanese restaurant, and 24 hour café as well as banquet and room service facilities.

Featured on televisions Great Chef Series, Travel Café and Extra, and in numerous publications including The Times Picayune, Louisiana Cookin, New Orleans Magazine, Bon Appetit Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, The San Diego Union Tribune, Gayot’s Los Angeles Restaurants (3rd Edition), Zagat Survey, and Chaine de Rotisseurs Gastronome.

Now Chef has launched Celebrity Chef Consulting which does restaurant consulting and private in-home instruction for customized sessions tailored to individual specifications. It is also our pleasure to have him as your Food and Beverage Underground New Orleans Insider.
