Fox Ridge chef Michael Bruce received his basic course training in cooking from the International School of Culinary Arts in Houston and then attended advanced courses at the Culinary Institute of America.
Bruce said he began cooking at home as an 8-year-old and has been interested ever since.His first professional position was at a Four Star Louisiana Creole restaurant and later he worked at an exclusive private club in San Antonio where he created dishes for the likes of Leonardo Di Caprio, Tommy Lee Jones and the Bush family.He has been working as a chef at Fox Ridge for the past eight months and was named head chef in January.
"My training is classical French, which ties in real well with the Creole," Bruce said.
Bruce is responsible for the preparation of this year's Chefs Tour luncheon at Fox Ridge.
"I've got a few ideas," he said of what he might prepare for the event.
