Meet Chef

A green and blue background with some type of color

I'm Chef Trimell, originally from Chicago but now proudly calling West Michigan home. As a U.S. military veteran, I honed my culinary skills in various kitchens before pursuing formal education at the Secchia Institute of Culinary Arts, guided by three esteemed Master Chefs.

Kitchen Escapades

After graduation, I had the privilege of working with Chef Mark Elliot at Elliott’s in Linden, North Carolina. Following this enriching experience, I served as a Sous Chef under the mentorship of Master Chef Kevin Dunn. My training in classical French cooking blends seamlessly with my heartfelt Southern flair.
