Joel Eugene has been appointed as Executive Sous Chef at The Ritz-Carlton, Boston
The Ritz-Carlton, Boston, a AAA Five Diamond luxury hotel located in the heart of downtown and overlooking the historic Boston Common, is pleased to announce that Marriott hotel veteran Joel Eugene has been appointed new Executive Sous Chef. In this role, Chef Eugene will oversee all menu creation and execution for the hotel's award-winning food and beverage outlets Artisan Bistro and Avery Bar.
Eugene comes to Boston via Rhode Island, where he was most recently Executive Sous Chef for the Marriott Newport, overseeing menu creation for the hotel and its several restaurants. Prior to that, he was Senior Banquet Chef for the Marriott Boston Long Wharf. He was also Assistant Sous Chef for the Long Wharf hotel before serving as Banquet Chef for The Westin Boston Waterfront. He's also cooked at independently owned establishments including the Harvard Club of Boston, Dorchester's Ashmont Grill and the Nashawtuc Country Club in Concord, Massachusetts.
Eugene is planning to make Artisan Bistro's menus more farm-to-table focused and more seasonal by sourcing ingredients primarily from the greater Boston and New England region whenever possible. He plans to amplify this farm-fresh approach by working with local farmers, growers, butchers and fishermen but also looks forward to infusing ingredients from all over the world.
A native of Haiti and a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Eugene currently resides in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. If he's not in the kitchen at The Ritz-Carlton, Boston, it's a safe bet Eugene is most likely riding his motorcycle or visiting local breweries.
