Daniel Niedermayer started his culinary career at a young age at the Keswick Hotel working as a banquet cook. He then went on to study business management at Bridgewater College. After leaving Bridgewater, he went to work for Hilton as a food and beverage director. There, he quickly fell back in love with the culinary aspects of hospitality. Training with the Culinary Institute of America and Hilton University, he continued mastering his craft of cooking and hospitality. He enjoys every aspect of the kitchen from leading his team of charismatic and talented cooks for large events to the more intimate approach needed for smaller, elegant cocktail gatherings. Danny would tell you that his strongest attributes are friendliness, patience, and amicable communication skills. He loves the experience of meeting each client and designing the menus for their event around their unique personality and specifications.
