West Beach Grille in Gulf Shores introduces Chef Daniel Monbouquette.  Here is a little bit about him in his words:

Born and raised just outside of Boston, Mass.

Learned to cook from my Nana. I was always in her kitchen throwing balls and shooting pucks off her cabinets till she was tired of the noise. She would make me pull a chair to the stove and help her with dinner. Never realizing that this would be the beginning of my training.

After pretending to be a hockey player, I fell into a cooking by accident. While bartending one night a bunch of cooks walked out of the restaurant and I said I could help out, not realizing I could do a lot of the same stuff they were doing. I enjoyed the night and started to lean towards a career in culinary.

While working in Boulder, Co. for Chef Radick Cerney who was trained by Paul Bocuse, I learned more techniques and flavors than I had ever imagined. I moved to New Orleans to see if I could learn more and found myself in Commanders Palace being trained by Chef Jamie Shannon. In my time at Commanders I also learned at ton about not just food but all that is associated with the restaurant business.

I moved back to Boston and became an executive chef of a few corporate dining facilities, family restaurants and a caterer. I then got a great opportunity to be the banquet chef at the Grand Hotel in Point Clear, eventually to become the Restaurant Chef. Through all of the moving and different jobs I have had the support and love of my wife Lisa and my two boys Elliot (12) and Isaac (10). Hope to see you all at West Beach Grille in the Future.

Live, Love and EAT!!!!

Chef Danny
