Executive
Chef: Gerard Cribbin
chefgerard@hotmail.com
Gerard Cribbin was born in Cleveland,
Ohio and now resides in Mauldin, South Carolina. He
is the chef and coproprietor of Gerard's Restaurant
in Greer. He is partnered with Robert Conway who he
met in Puerto Rico in 1994. Mr. Conway was Gerard's
favorite customer and Gerard was Mr. Conway's favorite
chef. Their vision of opening a fine dining restaurant
in the upstate started in June of 2000.
Mr. Conway flew the chef and his family into Greenville
and it was love at first sight! Gerard moved to Greenville
in May 2002. Plans were developed and the restaurant
opened to the public on June 9, 2003. His family includes
his wife Jessamine, daughter Samantha and sons Geronimo
and Tucker.
The backbone of his culinary training came from the
famed Filomena restaurant in Washington D. C. where
he spent ten years working directly under the tutelage
of Commendatore Vittorio Testa. He has cooked for
many dignitaries and celebrities including George
Bush Sr., German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, Al Pacino,
Jack Nicholson, Dick Cheney, Alan Greenspan, and Charlton
Heston among many others.
Since the age of fifteen he has worked in restaurants
and has known since then that it was his life's calling.
Recently the restaurant was featured in Southern LivingMagazine
and has been very successful in its first two years
of operation.
