Bio - Banquet Chef

ANTHONY MUSHINSKI
Banquet Chef

Anthony G. Mushinski joined The Peabody Orlando in 1993 as a cook in Capriccio, the hotel's magnificent Northern Italian restaurant which specializes in the cuisines of the Tuscan region.

A native of Yalesville, CT., chef Anthony has had a golden opportunity to round-out and elevate his culinary skills at one of the country's premier meetings and conventions hotels.

Chef Anthony began his career with Central Connecticut Catering Company, a business owned by a member of his family. While still in high school, he began serious culinary studies and continued working in the catering business at weekends. He attended the Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park, N.Y., in 1991/1992, during which time he undertook his externship at the Round Hill Country Club, Greenwich, CT., engaged in food preparation, line cooking and other related tasks.

At the same time, chef Anthony performed a variety of culinary duties for Central Connecticut Catering, Wallingford, CT., ranging from weddings to business luncheons for up to 350 people. This is where he honed his banquet and function catering skills, from dishwashing, to food preparation, cooking, finishing work, and serving.

In 1993, the golden sunshine of Florida lured chef Anthony south, and he joined The Peabody Orlando. In addition to his experience in Capriccio, he also worked garde manger, was banquet saucier, and ultimately was appointed banquet chef.

Chef Anthony holds all relevant licenses and certificates, from First Aid and CPR to press relations.

He has earned kudos and awards throughout his time with The Peabody Orlando. Chef Anthony was named among the best Rookies in 1993, won the 1995 Beyond the Call of Duty Award, 1996 Supervisor of the Quarter, and the 1997 Supervisor of the Year.

Chef Anthony and his wife, Karen, (Front Office Manager for The Peabody Orlando), have an eight-month daughter, Caitlin, the apple of their eye. The couple likes to entertain, swim, play golf, and…cook.
