COMPETITION: World Sandwich Championship
With more than 30 years in the culinary profession, Chef Rob Richards has cooked his way through the North East, the Carolina's and the great state of Texas- in both restaurants and hotels. He is a native of Jackson, Mississippi. His family moved to Texas at a very influential age. Rob started his career working as dishwasher and prep cook before moving to the front of the house. During that time, Rob longed for the back of the house. His love affair with how to cook and make food for people was his driving force behind pursuing culinary arts school. So, he packed his bags and moved to Vermont where he did his studies at New England Culinary Institute. Traveling and working in kitchens around the North and south in his tours, Chef Rob’s creations have been served to two presidents and Government officials as well as countless number of celebrities. Now, Chef Rob is branching out once again! He is going back and helping his community and surrounding areas. Feeding the homeless and helping other local charities.
