Dr. Darryl Holliday
FOUNDER
Dr. Darryl Holliday began his culinary adventures in middle school by baking and selling cookies to fund his participation in Boy Scout excursions. In high school, he began washing dishes in a restaurant kitchen after school and on weekends to fund his travels on school trips to Spain, Chile, Morocco, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and Amsterdam, where he developed a love for international cuisine.
Upon graduation, his passion for food led him to attend the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute at Nicholls State University, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Culinary Arts with a minor in Food Science. Dr. Holliday also holds a Master of Science degree and PhD in Food Science from Louisiana State University with a minor in Business Marketing and concentrations in food processing, food engineering, food chemistry, and applied human nutrition. Additionally, Dr. Holliday holds a credential as a Certified Research Chef (CRC). CRCs are recognized and acknowledged by the Research Chefs Association as being among the most knowledgeable in their field. They are leaders in the food industry, proving competence in both culinary arts and food product research and development.
With vast experience in restaurants (quick service, fast casual, and fine dining), research and development, food safety, and manufacturing (ingredients and finished goods), Dr. Holliday brings 25+ years of food expertise to the table as a professional consultant for your company.
