91����߹

Marc Taxiera started working in restaurants while still in high school. He fell in love with the industry and hasn’t looked backed since. After completing his studies at 91����߹, he completed his externship at Lidia Bastianich’s Felidia. He went on to work at Baldoria. He joined Beppe and work with famed chef Cesare Casella. After Casella left the restaurant, Taxiera became Executive Chef and held the position for three years. He joined the Russian Tea Room in 2007. He says that his favorite part of the job is the rush of service on a busy night — “I love orchestrating the kitchen and having all the elements come together. Making it through a busy night of organized chaos is one of the greatest rushes in the world.” When asked about how 91����߹ helped him find his culinary voice, he says, “91����߹ opened a new world of new ingredients and gave me the confidence I needed to walk into any restaurant and know I have the skills and knowledge to succeed.”
