Alongside her work in restaurant kitchens, Marianne has developed a strong specialty in consulting—helping clients secure manufacturing licenses, guiding teams in curating menus and developing recipes, and building the systems and logistics that enable kitchens to operate efficiently while elevating the guest experience.
From the Ward Eight ownership team (Best New Bar Nominee / Chicago)
“We couldn’t have opened the bar without you. Your food is thoughtful, beautiful, and always perfectly balanced. Beyond the cooking, the professionalism and depth of what you provided — from curated lists to opening logistics — was invaluable. You are a consummate professional and immensely talented. We learned so much from you and are deeply grateful you helped us open to rave reviews.”
From Santa Fe Sconery
"My wife and I opened a bakery a couple years ago. We decided to apply for a wholesale license, and quickly realized we were way in over our heads. She was a godsend. We never would have been able to do this on our own. She was extremely patient, thorough, and professional with us through this process. We would highly recommend her. She was so knowledgeable in the process and we will always be so grateful for her help."
