Chef Lexy: "I started cooking when I was five, I loved watching mom and dad in the kitchen.  I had a weekly night where (with Dads help) I'd make dinner for the family, usually "Lexy Soup" in the beginning.  It started with a row in the garden to grow things for dinner, I'd bring in whatever felt right and see how it went together.  From a young age my mother instilled in me a will to travel, throughout my life I've taken every opportunity to go somewhere new and experience different cuisines and ways of life.  Professionally I've been in this industry since 2007, starting at In Good Company and Rustica in Rockland, Maine.  In 2009 I went to the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, VT also working in Stowe, VT during my time there.  While in school I had amazing internship opportunities at The Federal in Agawam, MA and the St. Julien Hotel in Boulder, CO.  After achieving my Associates in Culinary Arts I also received a Bachelors in Hospitality Management.  From there I worked and honed my skills at Buddha Sushi in St. Thomas U.S.V.I., the Tavern at the Haraseeket Inn in Freeport, ME, and a slew of Portland, ME restaurants including Walters, Fore Street, the Westin Hotel, Yosaku, and the Corner Room where I first moved to the front of house bartending and serving for guests.  Something important to me was to learn every position in a restaurant before opening my own but I also fell in love with the art of wine and cocktail offerings.  In 2017 I moved to Brunswick, ME and worked at Tao Yuan.  And finally I made it back home to Midcoast Maine in 2023 (only because of a boy).  Now I'm at Primo in Rockland, ME serving and bartending.  I've filled my winters at the Rockport Harbor Hotel as breakfast chef and Franny's in Camden, ME serving and bartending.  Last summer season I was a bi-weekly guest Chef at Cellardoor Winery in Lincolnville, ME for food and wine pairing events offering a variety of cuisines paired with their wine.  I'm excited to work in this area again bringing my variety of skills to you."
