Chef Frank Constantino (pictured above) was recently named as the new dean of the Monroe College School of Hospitality Management and the Culinary Arts in New Rochelle, N.Y.
Constantino is a highly decorated chef. He won the 2002 Coupe des Nacions at the Festival de Gastronomie in Quebec City, Canada, as a member of the Big Apple Culinary Team, and has earned gold medals in American Culinary Federation competitions and other recipe contests.
In addition to his noteworthy professional credentials, Constantino also has been an award-wining culinary educator for more than 18 years. As a culinary coach, he led the Art Institute's junior hot food team to the 2006 New York State Junior Hot Food Championship.
Constantino said in a recent press release that he's looking forward to building on the strengths of Monroe's great faculty, students and facilities, and above all else, helping to carry on the college's 75-year tradition of higher education geared for career development.
Constantino, his wife and three sons own a small farm in Orange County, N.Y., where they raise heirloom and specialty fruits and vegetables grown organically and bio-dynamically.
