Jared Bacheller's culinary interest stemmed from the fabulous women bakers in his family. His kitchen experience started as most — in the dish pit of a restaurant. Jared's ambition and dedication moved him through the ranks to food preparation where many of his chef co-workers were Culinary Institute of America graduates, and encouraged him to apply to the school for further training. At the Institute, Jared chose to return to his roots and seek a degree in Baking & Pastry. After graduation he worked at Boston's Ritz Carlton before moving to the Pastry department at L'Espalier where he currently works under Pastry Chef Jiho Kim.
