Just a quick note here: I’ve added a contributor to the Dish-Bliss blog! Welcome Tony Finnestad, a new addition to the Paradise team and a great chef!

Tony comes to Paradise from Jackson Hole, Wyoming after serving as Sous Chef for Vail Resorts. Tony has had the pleasure of traveling and cooking all over the country, including New York, New Mexico, Indiana, Wisconsin, Florida, Minnesota and Wyoming and has over 10 years of experience in the kitchen. After obtaining an Associate’s degree from The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, Chef Tony went on to earn his Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management from Purdue University. Chef Tony is currently taking Culinology classes and pursuing his Certified Research Chef certification.

Tony will be working full time as a new chef with me. He is fairly new to the manufacturing side of Research & Development but has a great deal of experience with fine dining. Tony is excited to be working with Paradise customers and bringing new ideas to the table, and recording his experiences on the Dish-Bliss blog!
