Julie Carrion
Julie spent the early years of her culinary career in New York City cooking with "Top Chef Master" Anita Lo, and then Montreal-based chef Normand Laprisse of Toque, before accepting a position at the Restaurant Daniel, the year that Daniel Boulud won back his coveted fourth star from the New York Times.
In Austin, Texas, she worked at the acclaimed Jeffrey’s Restaurant and later was the chef and co-owner of Full Spoon Catering. She served as Director of Catering and Executive Chef for a culinary non-profit called The Kitchen at Billings Forge in Hartford. There she created a job-training curriculum for underserved communities, opened two bakery cafe locations, and an off-premise catering business that quickly became the preferred caterer for the Wadsworth Athenaeum, the Governor’s Residence, and many other offsite venues.
After nearly a decade with Yale University as the Executive Chef of Yale Catering, where she catered to elite guests of the university and Yale's President, Julie brings her passion for perfect food and extraordinary service to Chef's Dinner Table as our Culinary Director and chef-in-residence.
