Chef Tom Chuck graduated from Johnson and Wales University in Providence, RI with a Bachelors Degree in Culinary Arts. For two years he apprenticed under Chef Jean Francois Lassance at the Black Swan in Princeton. In 1992, he moved to Colorado and was Chef de Cuisine at the famous restaurant Charles Court at the Historic Forbes Five Star Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, CO.  After four years, Chuck moved back to the east coast and was the Executive Sous Chef at the historic Bellevue Hotel in Philadelphia and then the Executive Chef at the Drafting Room in Fort Washington.

Chef Chuck joined the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm as Executive Chef in 2006. In addition to his famous Short Ribs with Foie Gras and truffle custard, some of Chef Chuck’s favorite items to prepare are soups and sauces as he feels they add an interesting touch to his dishes.
