ABOUT

Born and raised in Darien, Connecticut, Peter Crawford returns to his hometown to pursue his culinary passion for fine food and superior meats. A Darien High School ‘95 alumni who participated in both Wrestling and Football, Peter’s childhood memories surround his grandmother’s kitchen and the inspiration he gained from her rustic, home-style meals, and use of fresh produce and prime quality meat from the family cattle farm.

Peter’s early food experiences and restaurant work inspired him to attend The New England Culinary Institute (NECI) in Burlington, VT. After graduating with advanced placement, Peter went on to work alongside some of the greatest chefs of our time: Charlie Palmer, Jean-Georges, Neil Gallagher and Terrence Brennen. Allured by invitations to work as a private chef on celebrity yachts and vacations, Peter left the grind of New York kitchens to explore foodie adventures abroad — eventually returning to the New York restaurant scene holding management positions at such acclaimed restaurants as Bouley and The Oak Room.

Since his New York days, Peter has overseen the opening of additional restaurants and is now focused on sharing his experience and appreciation for the finest meats with his distinguished hometown neighbors and friends.
