He’s been a chef for the Max Restaurant Group and executive chef at restaurants like Taphouse Grill and the storied Eastside Grill of Northampton. He will be part of the team opening Mamou this winter in Springfield, bringing Chef Wayne and the Big Mamou’s legendary Louisiana Creole flavors back to life.

If you’ve ever had flan you know what it is, if you haven’t… This classic Puerto Rican dessert is the love child of custard and cheesecake. Creamy, sweet, and topped with a caramel syrup baked right in the pan.
