Welcome-Chef Steve Sommers!
I am extremely pleased to officially announce the addition of my husband, Chef Steve Sommers, to the staff at A Grande Finale! Many of you have met Steve at events we've had or tasted his creations at our Sunday Brunch in Lafayette.
Steve and I met 13 years ago while attending the Disney Culinary Academy at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. While there, we worked together on many catering events at Epcot Center and eventually worked as the Chef and Pastry Chef at an Orlando restaurant. (where we were voted best restaurant by the Orlando Sentinel) After moving to Colorado in 1999, I started A Grande Finale Patisserie and Steve worked for several years at local restaurants and catering companies before hanging up his chef coat for a "normal" career.
Now, as we look for ways to meet customer needs and expand, things are coming full circle as Steve brings his culinary knowledge and experience to A Grande Finale. Beginning Saturday, March 13th, our menu offerings will now include buttery Croissant Sandwiches and LUNCH SPECIALS with a catering menu to come.
And, in honor of St. Patty's Day, Steve's making Reubens at our Lafayette location*: Sliced Corn Beef, homemade dressing and sauerkraut on grilled Three Cheese Bread. Lunch Special includes: Choice of Sandwich, veggie chips, cookie, and beverage all for just $5.95!!
