Chef Bobby Buzz is the nom-de-guerre of Chef Bob Passarelli, and if you ever met this dude, you'd know why he's called "Bobby Buzz."

These are the facts. Just the facts, ma'am.

  • Recruited by the CIA*. The nice one. We kill you with cholesterol. Graduated with special mention: "Please leave now."
  • Certified as an Executive Chef by the American Culinary Federation.
  • Graduated Paul Smith’s College with a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management. 
  • Chef at the Governor's Mansion in Raleigh for...well, a lot of years. Bob likes to say he was the Chef for every Governor in North Carolina named Jim.
  • Executive Chef at Duke University, Glaxo Welcome, and Wake Medical Center.
  • Chef Bobby Buzz also owns one of the only truffiere or truffle orchards in North America that produces the famed Melanosporum or Perigord truffle native to France.  
  • Chef Consultant for the last 10 years.

Most importantly, he truly loves food.

Chef Bobby Buzz's Philosophy
People in this country need to concentrate on buying and eating quality foods. Most people are more concerned with quantity rather than quality. If we focus on what tastes good instead of what's forced down our gullet by corporate restaurant overlords, we can stop being happy with what's just average. Give yourself a quality dining experience at home. Try my espresso rub. If you're not entirely satisfied, I'll refund your money--no questions asked. All I expect is your 100% satisfaction.

*The CIA in question is the Culinary Institute of America.
