Behind the Food

Hi, I'm Chef
Samuel.

I cook New American food shaped by French and Asian technique and a deep love of Middle Eastern spice. After training at The Culinary Institute of America and cooking in Manhattan and on Nantucket, now on the line at Provenance inside the Cleveland Museum of Art and hosting private dinners served family-style or fully coursed, whichever suits your table.
