Where the Wine Market chef has finally ended up

Learn something new every day.

I didn't know that Christian DeLutis had worked under Galen Sampson as chef de cuisine at Hampton's in Harbor Court before it closed. That was before he was chef de cuisine at Corks.

After his stint at Corks, DeLutis made a name for himself citywide as executive chef of the Wine Market. Eventually he left the Wine Market to go to Ireland, but couldn't get a visa to work there. ...


When DeLutis returned, he seemed to be drifting a bit, although he eventually landed a job as a chef-consultant at Brasserie Tatin, now closed.

But now DeLutis is back with Sampson as chef de cuisine of Dogwood Restaurant in Hampden. (Sampson is the co-owner and executive chef.)

That's quite a culinary duo in one kitchen.

By the way, the photo is what I got when I typed "Christian DeLutis" into Google images. It's from my blog, supposedly, but I'm drawing a blank as to what it is. Can anyone help out? If not, I'll check out our photo archives tomorrow when I get to work.

It looks like the now defunct carry out joint in Cross Street Market. If you look at the sign it says "Dinner at Your Door". I guess that was the name of it?

Gosh maybe he should go back to the Wine Market it has not been as good since he left. Although, Dogwoods was always pretty good not great but the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired so maybe he will do some good their we will have to give it another shot. Not so good last time we went

also of intrest is another chef de cusine from corks who was at a similar wine oriented establishment .Russel Braitsch went from corks to iron bridge and is now at MERIDIAN 54 (old red fish)
