Judd will be cooking from his newly released new cookbook, Salt and Vanilla!

After culinary school in Minneapolis and nine years in the restaurant business working under 2-star Michelin, chef Daniel Patterson, chef/restaurateur Kent Rathburn at Abacus and numerous high-end hotels including the Hilton, Hyatt, and Warwick Melrose among others, Chef Judd decided to start his own catering business. A small operation at first quickly grew with word-of-mouth being his biggest advertising. But after a few years and finding love, stability for supporting a family was a priority. Judd was offered a full time position with John Paul and Eloise Dejoria, owner of Paul Mitchell and Patron Tequila as their private chef. The Dejoria family has given him the opportunity of continuing his journey in growing as a chef while taking care of their family, friends, business partners, and guests.
