About wessbecker
I'm a chef, artist, and writer based in Minneapolis.
I trained at the Vail Academy of Culinary Arts and spent years cooking in five-star hotels and private homes in Colorado. Back in Minnesota I've run a cooking school, taught private lessons, and cooked for families, individuals, and athletes.
My focus now is Dinner is Served, a seasonal meal program delivering fresh, chef-prepared dinners to Twin Cities households each week.
Away from the kitchen I paint, shoot film, and write. Restaurants are a constant source of inspiration, studying what works, noticing what doesn't, looking for the thing that makes an experience feel considered. That curiosity runs through everything.
It all comes from the same place - a deep belief that how you live your daily life is worth getting right.
