pastry and ice carving, in addition to working the line and cooking for private
parties.
Chef Kellermann then returned home to the Philadelphia region and The White Dog
Café in University City. He performed the duties of
Sous Chef and Executive Pastry Chef, participating in writing and planning the
daily menus and assisting the staff in the production of the menus. The White
Dog is considered one of the best restaurants in the Philadelphia area and a
national leader in the use of organic foods.
Kellermann then became the Executive Chef at>The Inn at Montchanin Village,
Krazy Kat's Restaurant, in Wilmington, Delaware. It was
at this Mobil 2 Star Restaurant (which under Chef Kellermann became a 4 Star )
and Small Luxury Hotel that Inquirer Food Critic Craig LeBan bestowed 2 bells
and said that "The food is as sophisticated as the decor is wacky."
Elements Café is Chef's first foray as Chef/Owner. With the
love and help of parents, brother, a very understanding wife and boundlessly
energetic son the labor of love that is Elements Café became
reality. Wife Mari can often be found greeting, seating, running, bussing, and
tasting on an almost daily basis. Son Fred pours water, serves bread, clears
plates and wants to be a World Series Catcher for The Fightin' Phillies.
