Darby Fitzgerald

A True Teamplayer

Darby’s strength is his ability to work alongside everyone in the kitchen, helping them learn the correct way, understand recipes and express themselves creatively.  With a mindset focused on the greater good, he is very nurturing with a heart of gold who greatly cares about his staff and the company.

More than a Meal

Chef champions the Waste Not Program, giving extra scraps to a local farm. In partnership with his client, he recently created a culinary camp for underprivileged youth. Darby’s talent is unmatched in producing vegan and gluten-free options while upholding high CulinArt standards. His most popular is smoked tofu with vegan dijonaise, cheese and pickles to simulate a Cubano!

Making his Mark

Chef joined CulinArt after a career in pristine French restaurants and country clubs. On campus, he continues to grow business within the catering department, tripling revenue with his creativity and business acumen. Off campus, Darby supports sales with food tastings and occasional travel to a location in need.
