Todd Seyfarth didn't always have the ambition to be a culinary professional. With dreams of becoming an actor or musician, he borrowed money to buy a way-too-expensive guitar, and had to get a job washing dishes at a restaurant to repay his parents. He was quickly promoted into cooking positions, and discovered his love for the pressures and heat of the kitchen. Todd attended Johnson & Wales University and went on to Stony Brook University for a Masters Degree in Healthcare Policy and Management. Todd is a Culinary Nutrition instructor at Johnson & Wales and has worked in the TV kitchen of "SIMPLY MING" with Chef Ming Tsai, and is a member of a band named "Fortress of Attitude."
