Dominique’s passion for cooking began at a young age, baking bread alongside his mother in his hometown of Gatineau, Canada. After attending culinary school at 17 and pastry school at 19, Dom worked for renowned chefs in Canada and France, including Georges Blanc and Jerome Ferrer. He participated in many different cooking competitions, including representing Team Canada in the Luxembourg Culinary World Cup in 2014. Dominique always knew he wanted to work for one of the best restaurants in the world, and after staging at Maaemo in Oslo and Mirazur in France, he arrived in New York City from Montréal. He started with Eleven Madison Park in 2015, holding various positions, including Sous Chef and Culinary Research & Development. He also led the opening team of Davies & Brook in London in 2019. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Dom spearheaded the Eleven Madison Park and Rethink Food partnership, leading the program that provided hundreds of thousands of meals to both food-insecure residents of New York City as well as frontline workers. In 2021, he assumed the title of Chef de Cuisine, leading the reopening and building the vision for EMP’s future and leading the team to earn 3 Michelin Stars, making Eleven Madison Park the first ever plant-based restaurant to be awarded this accolade.
