Chef Will Poole was influenced at an early age by his grandparents. Their baking skills and the unforgettable aromas of home cooking were an inspiration to him. Will trained in Paris, then opened Wen Chocolates in Denver, Colorado. He is now chef/co-owner of Maison de Macarty, a beautifully renovated New Orleans guest house. This cowboy, chef and lover of animals & nature is a true Renaissance man.
