Free Seasonal Cooking Demo & Tasting | Ferry Plaza Farmers Market

Chef Mark Sullivan’s harmonious connection to his craft is evident in his role as the executive chef and partner of Bacchus Management Group, whose family of restaurants includes the Michelin-starred Spruce in San Francisco and The Village Pub in Woodside, Mayfield Bakery & Cafe in Palo Alto, and Pizza Antica (Lafayette, Mill Valley, Santa Monica, Santana Row). With no formal culinary education, Sullivan has always relied on his intuition and innate pleasure for cooking when creating his soulful food with clean, bright flavors. Sullivan’s intellectual approach to being a chef involves a deep respect for his ingredients and challenging methods in an ongoing exploration of old world and modern cooking. His elegant yet approachable food has made his restaurants both a local’s favorite and a destination restaurant for out-of-towners. It’s also what landed him on the cover of Food & Wine Magazine as one of “America’s Best New Chefs” of 2002 and led to his recognition as chef at Spruce in Esquire magazine’s 2008 “Best New Restaurants” issue.

Sullivan continues to seek out new techniques and skills to improve his craft. Through his travels both domestically and abroad, Sullivan emphasizes learning a cuisine at its source, transforming the experience into his identity and his cooking.
