OWENBYTHEOVEN

Food is love. Food is caring. Food is memories. Food is health. Food is friends. Food is joy. Food is fun. Food is needed. Food is blessed. Food is life. Food is everything.

Chef Owen Roy

I was born in Alexandria Virginia and shortly after, my family and I moved to Framingham Massachusetts where I spent my first 21 years. After high school I didn’t have a clue what I wanted to do with my remaining time on this planet. I went to Framingham State University study business, but dropped out halfway through my junior year to follow my lifelong dream of becoming a Chef.

I attended the Culinary Institute of America and graduated August 2022. I completed my externship at a two starred Michelin restaurant in Brooklyn. Here, my eyes were truly opened to what food could be. Now, I work in a popular seafood restaurant in New Bedford where I continue to hone my craft. My favorite meal is chicken piccata and my culinary focus is in seafood and sustainability.

I offer hands on cooking experiences for you and your friends to get together in your home, have a glass of wine, and have fun learning culinary skills that you can use in your daily life. Additionally, I offer private lessons for the home cook who wants to take their cooking to the next level. If you are looking for a custom dining experience, I also offer private dinners that can have a menu of your choosing, or a seasonal tasting menu of my own creation.

I look forward to meeting you and cooking together.

“To me, food is everything. It is a way of communicating emotions and memories to others, as well as a way of displaying love and generosity.”
