Barry Barbe
|
A 26 year resident of Prescott, Barry began his culinary career after graduating from Johnson & Wales University. With a fondness of Southern, Mediterranean, and European Flavors, Barry blends ingredients in such as way as to allow the Center of the Plate to be the standout, while sauces and accompaniments elevate, yet don’t distract.
Barry’s dishes are prepared with minimal manipulation with clean presentations while utilizing the most quality ingredients possible. El Gato Azul, and most recently Torme, a Contemporary Italian Bistro, offer a variety of locally sourced ingredients with all dishes, sauces, and sides being prepared fresh daily. “Pings” is the best way to describe the palette at both restaurants. Each spoonful has elements of Sweet, Savory and Spicy. Rosemary, Sage, Roasted Garlic, and Nutmeg are some of his favorite flavors that blend well with a variety of Proteins and Vegetables. |
