Chef Eric Moulton
Born in San Francisco and raised in Kenwood, Chef Eric’s culinary journey is deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of Sonoma County’s food culture. His passion for cooking was ignited during his teenage years, influenced greatly by his aunt in San Francisco, whose culinary prowess left a lasting impression.
After graduating from high school, Eric embarked on a transformative journey through Australia and Central America, where he gained invaluable experience through various odd jobs, including his first forays into kitchen work. This wanderlust would later shape his culinary perspective, infusing his cooking with diverse influences from Spain, Italy, and Central America.
Eric’s formal culinary education began at Le Cordon Bleu in San Francisco, where he honed his skills in classic French techniques. His professional career took off in the vibrant San Francisco restaurant scene, with notable stints at The Boxing Room (Absinthe Group) and the renowned Farallon.
Eric’s culinary philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that great ingredients should be allowed to shine without unnecessary complication. His love for open fire cooking and his commitment to sourcing the finest local products are testaments to his connection with Sonoma County’s bountiful offerings.
