Chef Mike Richard of Vermilionville serves up a delightful spring dinner. Among these are his current presidency of the Acadiana Chapter of the American Culinary Federation and his position as manager as well as executive chef of Caf Vermilionville. Chef Richard's thoughts on food are as abiding as his devotion to creating masterpieces in the medium. Food is passion. Food is art.
Food is entertainment.
Food is sensual. Given that, food is serious to me as a chef and everything done to food is done for a reason or should be. We keep things basic but flavorful and healthy. Sometimes not as healthy as could be, but still flavorful. A native of St. Landry Parish, Chef Richard lives near Cankton.
