Wilson Calixte

Born in a small town outside Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Chef Wilson moved to New York City at a young age. His culinary journey began at 18 as a dishwasher at a Soul Food restaurant, where his talent led to a cooking promotion after just three months. He later honed his skills at a Fusion French restaurant before establishing his own catering company.

In March 2010, after maintaining a three-year long-distance relationship with his now-wife Tonya, Chef Wilson relocated to Omaha. Following a month-long stage at V. Mertz, he accepted a sous chef position at Le Voltaire French Restaurant, advancing to Executive Chef after three and a half years.
