What Matters to Me  and Why
Chef Bill:  "Food:  why it matters to me"

Geen Community  Center

Bill Griffin, more familiarly known as “Chef Bill,” was  born and raised on Long Island, N.Y.  He came to Maryland on a football  and basketball scholarship to the University of Maryland, College Park in  1986.
        After getting injured during his college sports career, Chef Bill entered the U.S. Army.  A strange twist of fate landed him in hospital food service, which required  training at cooking and nutrition school.
       When he left the Army in 1990, he attended the Baltimore International College, a four-year culinary institution. Since then, Bill has worked in every facet of the food industry, including at five-star  hotels, convention centers, airlines, resorts and country clubs, nursing homes and hospitals, catering businesses, and private companies. He’s certainly been around the block in his long career as a chef.
