Chef Russell Hawkins
Chef Russell Hawkins – Bio
Chef Russell Hawkins’ culinary journey began at the age of 16 with his first job in a pizza shop, igniting a passion for food that would shape his career. Committed to becoming a chef, he was fortunate to apprentice under his first mentor, a protégé of the legendary Paul Bocuse of Lyon, France. This experience opened doors to work with some of the most acclaimed chefs in the world, including Charlie Trotter in Chicago and the esteemed Joël Robuchon at his Michelin 3-star restaurant in Las Vegas.
Known for his hands-on approach, Chef Hawkins is dedicated to creating everything from scratch, sourcing only the finest, clean ingredients, and fostering strong relationships with local farmers. His commitment to fresh, sustainable ingredients has made him highly sought after in some of Southern California’s top country clubs.
At TOOC, we are thrilled to showcase Chef Russell’s innovative approach to food, where he expertly highlights the beauty of our olive oils and vinegars, crafting dishes that celebrate the gifts of nature. His passion for food and dedication to quality shine through in every plate he prepares.
