A culinary style rooted in Virginia home cooking

Joe Peebles, the new Executive Chef at Sandpiper's Cove Restaurant and Bar in Old Port Cove, started his culinary career at age 14 as a pastry cook in Charlottesville, Virginia. His love of food started early, cooking family recipes with his mother in their Virginia home. Mentored by top chefs in the Mid-Atlantic region, he learned different styles of European, Mediterranean, Asian and American cuisine. With a passion for southern coastal cuisine, at 23 he accepted his first Executive Chef position with Richmond, Va., Restaurant Group. Now Peebles brings his 18 years of professional experience to North Palm Beach.

North Palm Beach Life sat down with Chef Peebles recently for an interview. Listen to it here:

 I do a lot of talking to members to see what they want  . . .I've been doing a lot of things to make sure everybody is happy with our menu."
