The Chef – Steven Wagenbach:

After graduating high school in 1978, Chef Steven Wagenbach pursued a career in the culinary field. He accepted an apprenticeship through Triton College in Chicago for three years. The program had rigorous classroom and restaurant experiences to complete his training.

Chef Wagenbach worked in the most prestigious restaurants Chicago had to offer. He worked as a saucier chef for two years at Sinclair’s restaurant, which ranked as a five star establishment located in Lake Forest. Then he decided to work as an assistant pastry chef at the Marriott Lincolnshire resort. Chef Wagenbach had a remarkable mentor who taught him to pull sugar and make elaborate desserts for four years. Finally, the Hyatt Gainey Ranch Scottsdale resort hired him as an assistant pastry chef in 1986. He designed and created wedding cakes, pulled sugar, chocolate truffles, and other delicacies.

Steven Wagenbach had the desire to become a classroom teacher. He received a degree in elementary school training and taught third and fourth grades respectively from 1996 to 2018. Steven worked in the Madison and Paradise Valley Unified School Districts over his career.

Now having settled in Arizona, Chef Wagenbach has a reignited passion to create dishes in the kitchen.
