Tom Pritchard, executive chef

Originally a New Yorker from Rochester, Chef Tom grew up in Kenilworth, Illinois and is proud to tell you he's the only kid from the town who still wears an apron to work. Tom's culinary life began in New York City, where he worked as a brigade apprentice chef in a Manhattan hotel. He spent numerous years in Europe working and traveling during the 70's. After stops in London, Holland, Germany, Morocco, Switzerland and France, he ended up with his own very popular establishment in Mallorca, Spain - Tom's A Raconteur. He was traveling over 300 days a year before he decided to settle down in the NE section of St. Petersburg, FL in 1989.
