BEARD HOUSE FELLOWS PRESENTED BY CAPITAL ONE: BEARD BOX BY: STEVE GUTIERREZ

In May 2021, we launched the Beard House Fellows program presented by Capital One, which re-envisions the potential of this historic space into a hub of training and professional development for talented emerging chefs. Each Fellow will have a one-month residence at the Beard House where JBF will provide hard skills training along with the opportunity to develop a meal kit in collaboration with Great Performances that will be available across the country.

Meet our March Beard House Fellow: Steve Gutierrez. At the age of 12, Steve tagged along to his brother's restaurant job, helping to peel vegetables and make mise en place kits. As a teenager, he enrolled in Food and Finance High School and he also began working at Cafe Boulud on the weekends. There, he realized his passion could become a career. After competing in Careers Through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP) competition for scholarships, Steve received a full-tuition scholarship to the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Set to graduate in 2022, Steve has gone on to work at fine dining establishments during his college career including Boulud Sud, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, and most recently COTE Korean Steakhouse in New York. Passionate about sustainability, Steve hopes to continue to work in fine dining while being mindful of food waste and the environmental impact of the restaurant industry.
