"Andy was one of the top ten best sauciers that ever worked for me at The Waterside Inn" Michel Roux Snr.
Andy's lifelong dedication to the culinary arts began with humble beginnings in prestigious restaurants throughout the globe including:
Three Star Michelin & Relais et Chateau establishments such as:
The Waterside Inn - Bray, England
Restaurant L'Oustau de Baumanière - Provence, France

A stint as a chef on a mega yacht brought him to Fort Lauderdale in 1992. Locally he was hired as the chef at the Plum Room at Yesterday's and The Blue Moon Fish Company. He then headed to the US Virgin Islands to open a restaurant in St. Thomas called Tavern on the Waterfront. It became time to head back to the mainland to open his own place
and Le Bistro afforded Andy the perfect opportunity.
