Item Description
Winner of this auction will receive a $100 Gift Certificate to Girl & the Fig Restaurant in Sonoma, CA or The Fig Cafe & Winebar in Glen Ellen, CA.
John Toulze is a native of Northern California from a third generation French family. Cooking was, and continues to be, a strong passion in his family life. John started his career in hospitality at Viansa Winery in Sonoma in 1994. After several years of cooking and wine sales, John left Viansa winery to help Sondra Bernstein open the Girl & the Fig Restaurant in Glen Ellen. At the Girl & the Fig, John’s role was varied as he divided his work between the sous chef and floor manager. During the second year of business, John took over the kitchen as the Chef de Cuisine and continued to define the restaurant’s “country food with a French passion” focus.
John received a Rising Star Chef award in June 2009.
John is a completely self-taught chef and enjoys developing new recipes, training new staff, but, most of all, understands the importance of consistency and endurance. “Food is my passion. I have been blessed to cook in the wine country where the commitment and dedication to exceptional products is of the highest importance. I am one of the lucky ones; I am able to pursue my passion and make my dreams become reality.”
