About the Chef

Chef Robb Conn is classically trained and has been working in the food service industry for most of his life. At age 12 he began working in his grandparent's concession stands at the Lake and Porter county fairs. At 16 he worked at the Original Merrillville Bakery, then Sue's Bakery in Portage, Muffalettos Bakery in Lake Station, and the Dawn Food Company in Crown Point. His restaurant experience includes, Schoops, Drena's, T.G.I.Fridays, Santini's, and Strongbow Inn. He attended Culinary School at Ivy Tech, making the Dean's list every semester, becoming the President of the Culinary Club, a member of the Student Leadership Academy and actively participating in area fund-raisers and charity events hosted by the NW Indiana chapter of the American Culinary Federation.

Chef Robb also cooked at Meals on Wheels in their central kitchen, cooking for over 700 people in the community and over 200 children in area day care centers each day and provided personal Chef services to families in Porter County before joining the U Cook team.

Chef Robb is also available for Private Parties. (Bachelorette, Girls’ Night Out, Mother/Daughter, Father/Son, Business Meetings, Birthdays, or just any excuse you can find for a fun night out!)

"Even though I am classically trained in French cooking techniques my cuisine covers everything from American regional dishes, French, Spanish, German, elevated home cooking, casual dining restaurants, to fine dining, catering and large scale food service. I am also well versed in cutting edge, modern techniques that are used in the top rated restaurants in the world.

I will be offering classes that cover a large variety of subjects to meet the many tastes of the people in our community, from home-makers, foodies, culinary students, to professional Cooks and Chefs. I continue to study cooking every day and I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with you. My teaching style is similar to the hosts of modern cooking shows, fun and informative. While I take cooking very seriously, I also enjoy playing with my food and having a good time in the kitchen."
