Dave Booth

Chef Dave Booth brings nearly 40 years of culinary experience to the Kitchen Classroom. After attending The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, Mr. Booth continued to learn in the kitchens of local chefs Jimmy Sneed, (The Frog and the Redneck), and Dale Reitzer, (Acacia), before setting off to a variety of culinary adventures. In 2004, Chef Booth began sharing some of the knowledge he had accrued and developed a passion for teaching. He has taught cooking classes at Sur La Table, Mise En Place, and for the University of Richmond’s School of Professional and Continuing Studies, as well as at J. Sargent Reynolds CC, Stratford University, and most recently, Goochland County High School. In addition to teaching, Chef Booth owns Chef On The Way, a small, (1 person), temp service which provides high-level, skilled labor to businesses with staffing needs and gaps in management. Mr. Booth lives in Chesterfield County with his wife of 24 years, Jennifer, son Nicholas, and dogs Lucy and Scarlett.
