He oversees all operations of the FoodBank’s professional commissary, including menu planning and preparation of our Kids Cafe meals, as well as instruction in the Food Service Training Academy. Chef Paul, who is a Certified Executive Chef and a licensed ServSafe instructor, has a Bachelor of Occupational Science degree from Johnson & Wales University. He has extensive experience as an executive chef in fine restaurants, in large-volume cooking, and in management and entrepreneurship. Chef Paul is on the advisory boards of several social service organizations, including Eva’s Village Social Entrepreneur Advisory Committee, Plainfield Housing Community Board, The Kintock Group Correctional Facility Community Advisory Board, and Tully House Community Education Center Community Advisory Board.

 

Bruce Johnson, Executive Chef of Harvest Restaurants: Chef Bruce began his relationship with Harvest Restaurants in 1997 with the opening of the group’s first concept, Trap Rock Restaurant and Brewery. Since that time, Bruce has opened each of the company’s nine restaurants and is excited to embark on his 11th opening for Harvest in the summer of 2015! It’s been 17 years since Bruce brought his culinary talent to New Jersey and throughout that time, his culinary philosophy has remained tried and true. He believes strongly in the growing trend toward a healthy, local and sustainable lifestyle. Bruce fosters this philosophy daily by consistently seeking out the freshest ingredients and presenting them in a way that allows the flavors to speak for themselves. As a senior Executive Chef and Culinary Director at Harvest Restaurants Bruce is constantly coaching and encouraging young cooks to be creative in their craft, to work hard and have fun and most of all, to maintain a healthy respect for the beauty of what you put on the plate.

            Bruce balances his culinary career by spending every spare moment with his family. He and his beautiful wife, Christie, currently reside in Glen Ridge, NJ with their daughter Sarah, their son Samuel and their pug Lucy.
