Dave is the family’s fourth-generation chef and restaurateur. So it wasn’t surprising when he graduated with honors from Walt Disney World’s prestigious culinary apprenticeship. A few years later, Dave became the co-owner and executive chef of Antero Grill in Salida, Colorado. After selling the successful business, he joined
The Fort restaurant in Morrison, Colorado, as executive chef and protégé of owner and renowned food historian Sam Arnold. Now Dave oversees the research and development for the $1 billion Red Robin Gourmet Burgers restaurant group.

Dave’s father liked good mustard, so it was he, with a little help from the TV
commercials in the ’80s, who turned Dave on to Grey Poupon at a young age. And it’s been there with him as an indispensable kitchen staple ever since. He uses it to bridge the gap between disparate flavors so they can blend harmoniously in his dishes.
