Executive Chef
Jeffrey Trujillo, a native Long Islander, has cooked from Texas
to NYC to Eastern Long Island during his career spanning four decades. He has
worked for many luminaries of the culinary world including: Daniel Boulud, Craig
Claiborne, Julie Sahni, and Alain Ducasse among others. Obtaining the best and
freshest of everything comes naturally to Jeff. He was a pioneer in the area's
fresh and organic agriculture movement years before it became trendy. In
addition to his responsibilities at Dark Horse, Jeff has been an instructor in
the Culinary Arts Programs of Suffolk Community College. He has also served as a
board member of the American Culinary Federation.
Being at the forefront is not unusual to Jeff. Dating back to his beginnings at
the Culinary Institute of America, Jeff was chosen by his peers to be group
leader four semesters running and was the natural choice to give the
commencement address at graduation. Jeff understands that there is always more
to learn. He has returned to the CIA for specialized post-graduate training in
baking, desserts and cake decorating. Jeff's passion for learning is contagious
in his teaching style. Many of his students have become acclaimed chefs
themselves, and several have gone on to own their own business.
