Chef Scott Turner's career in foodservice began in equipment installation and repair on the East Coast. Chef Turner received exceptional training and knowledge in Culinary Arts and Baking and Pastry through the NCHS. His training in Pastry Arts was held primarily under the guidance of Certified Master Pastry Chef Walter "Spud" Rhea. He participated in regional culinary competitions. During his career, the American Culinary Federation awarded Chef Turner both gold and silver medals in competition. Additional training has included time spent with Chef Ewald Notter in the study of chocolate, sugar, and pastillage.
Chef Turner worked in some of the finer restaurants in Louisville. A major opportunity arose with the opening of a new resort on Grand Cayman Island in the British West Indies when Chef Turner took on the role of Executive Pastry Chef for the Westin Casuarina Resort.
Chef Turner has taught in all of the programs within the Baking and Pastry curriculum but has a primary emphasis and finds his true passion in chocolate work.
