EXECUTIVE TEAM

Christopher Costantino grew up in the cold winters of Wyoming, but has been an Arizona resident for over twenty years. Originally planning to pursue a degree in engineering, instead, he went with his passion for food and, in 2003, graduated with high honors with an Associates Degree in Culinary Arts from Scottsdale Community College.

He has cooked for the Hemophiliac Foundation's Salsa Challenge, the Phoenix Children's Hospital's Rainbow Breakfasts and CASA's Pleasures of the Palettes. He was also Executive Chef at Camp Rainbow - a one-week summer camp for current and former patients of the Phoenix Children's Hospital's oncology department - for five years. He also served on the board of Share Our Strength's Taste of the Nation Phoenix, an annual food event targeted at ending childhood hunger. He now serves on the board of Slow Food Phoenix, an organization dedicated to linking the pleasures of the table with a commitment to protect the community, culture, knowledge and environment.
