about

So, you want to know who is responsible for all this? My name is Dan Tudor and I have been publishing tartare sporadically since 2006. I worked in technology from for a long time, leading large-scale application development for fairly large companies.  In 2005, I left my job to pursue my life’s dream of going to cooking school.  I started tartare to document the process, but I really didn’t start publishing anything until 2006. I went to the fabulous Midwest Culinary Institute in Cincinnati and graduated summa cum laude in 2008.  I was a prep cook on “The Dish”, a Cincinnati-based cooking show featuring Chefs Jean-Robert de Cavel and Meg Galvin. I have worked in both well-regarded white table cloth restaurants and high-end, boutique catering firms.  I am always doing experiments in the kitchen and I love documenting them.  I’m crazy about charcuterie and frequently make hams and bacon at home.
