In Black & White Q&A with Greg Daniels, Executive Chef Haven Gastropub
08.19.14
Our new Q&A series, Greer's OC: In Black & White is an ongoing segment on Greer's OC TV where we will talk to some of our favorite people in Orange County who are making a difference.
Next up, Greg Daniels, Executive Chef & Partner of Orange County’s Haven Gastropub and Provisions Market, both in Old Towne Orange. Before opening Haven five years ago, Chef Daniels worked in the kitchens of Chefs Pascal Olhats and Andrew Sutton, which built on his culinary school training. Daniels’ culinary training also went beyond the kitchen walls. To this day, he travels extensively to sample the cuisine at world-class restaurants.
Chef Daniels has become known for creating dishes that push the boundaries of what is commonly known as pub food, and making sure it pairs perfectly with his restaurants’ wide selection of craft beers. In fact, the recipe for his now-famous Haven Burger was featured in Food & Wine Magazine’s Cocktail Book for 2013.
Charitable work is very important to him – he believes that giving back to the community he serves only enables his businesses to thrive. The March of Dimes is very near and dear to his heart and Chef Daniels, along with his entire family, lends his support to events throughout the year.
When he’s not at one of his restaurants, you’ll find Chef Daniels spending time with his wife Abby, daughter Madeleine, and newborn son Gregory Scott III.
Here is Greg Daniel’s Q&A on Greer's OC TV.
