Background

About Stephen Kloss

Although my title is Corporate Executive Chef, I’m much more—I’m a vastly experienced restauranteur in all facets of the business, a product development specialist, a manager, a trainer, and a passionate 2nd generation Chef who believes in the power of food to make people happy. I love to experiment with food and am knowledgeable of many of the best products in the marketplace. As a tactical culinary specialist, I create crave-able high-quality products, at a reasonable cost, and deliver these products to the consumer in creative ways. I capitalize on trends in the marketplace and develop food products that delight consumers. With my keen business acumen as a restaurant manager, I have helped restaurants increase profits and save money on food, equipment and labor. I’ve also trained many aspiring chefs, and encouraged them to innovate using their love of food. My other core competencies include end-to-end product development processes, driving incremental sales, cost savings and product optimization, sensory testing, training, and QA. I’m also known for making “the best” homemade sausages & mustards. When I am not experimenting with my next culinary masterpiece, you can find me hiking with my dog, snowmobiling, golfing, and honing my BBQ and sausage making skills. I am actively looking for new opportunities and would be happy to talk to organizations looking to enhance their culinary capabilities and effectively manage cost and operations.
