Daniel may not have taken home the Seven Daysies title for Best Chef, but that doesn’t change what we already know: Daniel is an incredible chef.
At just 24 years old, being recognized as a finalist alongside some of Vermont’s most talented chefs is something to be incredibly proud of. But for us, Daniel’s talent isn’t something that needs an award to validate.
We see it every day in the creativity he brings to the kitchen, the care he puts into every plate, and the passion he has for what he does. We know how special he is, and we’re so lucky to have him leading the kitchen at Grant’s.
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who nominated him, voted for him, and showed him so much love and support throughout this process. Being a finalist is an accomplishment worth celebrating, and Daniel has so much more ahead of him.
We’re proud of you, Chef Daniel. Keep cooking. We know how amazing you are. 👨🍳
