Biography
Brian considers it an honor to be a chef. “I remember the first time I put my Chef’s jacket on,” he says. “That was it for me, I was hooked for life.” Since then, the hard working, down-to-earth Duffy has dedicated his life to the industry. When he’s not in the kitchen or perusing the dining room of his current “Fun Spot”, he teaches cooking classes makes public appearances and volunteers his time with local shelters & kitchens or he’s traveling the country with his motto ”Your Mood is Your Food”.
A Graduate of the Restaurant School in Philadelphia, Duffy’s food tends to defy the trends, choosing instead to maintain an adventurous and unique flair. No doubt, this is the reason Brian has worked and headed up some of the best kitchens across the country. Though he has always kept a home base in Philadelphia
After working with some of the nation’s top chefs, he developed his own simplistic style of cookery. On a chance meeting with an old friend, Duffy decided to embark on the age-old concept, “The Irish Pub”. This is where he has been seen having the most fun, creating & re-creating Irish Cuisine. Deciding to call it “New Celtic” he has taken some of the best local organic meats & produce to come up with some of his more creative & eclectic dishes.
Duffy’s credo “Your Mood is Your Food” rings true when you get the chance to sample some of his culinary creations. “I get bored real quick so I am constantly moving & trying to come up with something new or fun with food, People want to be WOWED during their experience and I must be ready for them”!
When you meet Duffy you will hear him say more than once “I Love My Job” & this is the truth, this is one chef who is always on the move. Currently Brian is doing a series for NBC’s 10! Show utilizing Kraft Foods. Duffy is the culinary spokesperson for the GE Profile Series and has been seen on such shows as NBC’s “Today Show Irish Stew Showdown” 2006 & “Irish Chef Showdown” 2008”, Food Network’s “Date Plate” & “Hot Trends 2005, 2006 & 2007”, DIY, HGTV & Fine Living. With hundreds of segments under his belt Duffy is no stranger to a camera. Brian Duffy lives in the suburbs of Philadelphia with his wife Sarah and their two girls Emily & Fiona.
