Meet the Chef - Keegan Marchand

Picture
Keegan Marchand hails from Lackawaxen PA. Growing up with the love and appreciation of good food, Chef Marchand was fascinated with what magical things his parents and grandparents were preparing in the kitchen. Cooking professionally for more than 12 years, Chef Marchand had the pleasure of working at many other great local AAA-awarded businesses such as the Settlers inn, Glass Wine Bar, and Dyberry Forks. Chef Marchand’s passion for evoking emotion with food will certainly enliven one’s pallet. 

About the Caterer - The French Manor
