Meet Chef Mark Riggs
Mark first fell in love with cooking at a young age while growing up with his brothers (Kevin, Brian & Patrick) and having to get creative and cook to help out around the house. He always remembers watching Julia Child and Jacques Pepin and then going into the kitchen to try and replicate what they had made. He says that was when he made his first egg soufflé that he can still remember making the mess in the kitchen but then the look on his mother’s face when she saw it and tasted how delicious it turned out. Aside from that, he grew up going to and visiting grandparents up in Warm Beach, Washington watching grandma make her delicious country fried chicken and blackberry cobblers from the fresh berries they were sent out to pick earlier that day.
Mark has been in the hospitality industry since 15 and has found his love and passion for food, culture, and creativity all while learning from those around him. His travels have led him all over South America where he immersed himself in many different cultures and learned about diverse cooking styles. Mark has had the opportunity of collaborating with some of Seattle’s premier chefs. Highlighted by learning to fillet the elegant Wild Pacific Northwest King Salmon and running a restaurant while working with Russell Lowell to dancing on the hotline side by side with Holly Smith at Cafe Juanita. Russell’s command of pacific northwest cuisine and Holly’s expertise in northern Italian cuisine provided important cultivating experiences that allowed Mark to further perfect his cooking technique and palate. Following this, he decided to learn the ins-n-outs of the catering world from extraordinaire Lisa Dupar, whose advice and guidance has helped Mark design a catering company that he is proud of.
