It is International Chef’s Day and we would like to introduce you to our new Executive Chef! 👏
Meet Andrew Selg! Andrew received a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from Eastern University in 2005 and after working in that field for a year decided to pivot his career, and follow his passion for cooking at fine dining restaurants in Philadelphia. He eventually ended up in San Francisco where he worked at restaurants such as Quince, Cotogna, Aziza, Luce and Chez Panisse. When Chez Panisse closed its doors (temporarily) due to the pandemic, he decided to go into business with his business partner Evan. They started Sonder together, a farmers market stall where they would sell their quiches, sandwiches, and other seasonal food. He is very family oriented. He and his wife had their son Theo in October 2020. They moved to Berkeley from Oakland partly due to the excellent school system. Theo is currently a kindergartener at Rosa Parks. Andrew is very honored to come into this position, knowing he will be feeding the children of Berkeley healthy and amazing homemade food. He truly believes every child going to school deserves healthy, nourishing food and is very honored to become a significant part of that. Andrew believes that when we all work together, we will continue to be a leading example of nutritious and delicious school lunches.
