About Us
Our executive chef at Food with Flair is Bryce Wade. Raised in the family florist business started in 1929 by his grandmother, Bryce showed a strong desire for cooking at the early age of five helping his Grandmother make popcorn balls to hand out as Halloween treats, and baking holiday cookies for Christmas open house of the family owned florist and greenhouse. With his Grandmother’s mentoring, Bryce mastered an array of comfort food for dinners at the Wade household as well as cooking and baking with her on many weekends.
A few years later he was introduced to a upscale caterer in the area whose title was "a gentleman's gentleman",(a.k.a. a butler). In addition to finer food, Bryce was also introduced to proper etiquette for formal functions and dinner parties. A short time later Bryce developed a successful catering business of his own in conjunction with the family florist.
While running the catering business and the family florist, Bryce received his certification as a Master Floral Designer by F.T.D. . After many years of operating both businesses, Bryce decided to peruse a life long dream and attended The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. Upon graduation, he has worked in various capacities for several of the finest restaurants and country clubs in the east.
Among Bryce’s culinary achievements are serving as executive chef to The United States Air Force, The Baton Rouge Convention Center, Arkansas Tech University and Hilton Hotels.
Stand out moments in Chef Wade’s career include restaurant consulting in Krasnodar, Russia, chef for the enlisted men’s club at R.A.F. Lakenheath in England and cooking for celebrities including jazz vocalists “Five by Design” and comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
We are proud to have a man of such distinction and many talents as our executive chef at Food with Flair.
