Cleveland, Ohio, home of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, is also where you'll find the venerable OAKWOOD CLUB, and Chef Dennis Dube. THE OAKWOOD CLUB is a ninety year old Cleveland institution, catering to the needs of a private membership, with banquet facilities, full service dining, as well as the usual golf and tennis.

Chef Dennis, shown here in the trenches doing up the ever popular Bananas Foster for the buffet line, has a certain rock & roll style of his own. A classic example of the American chef, Dennis has learned his craft by doing. Educated in the culinary school of hard knocks, full of experience and equipped with a great sense of humor, Chef Dennis works his operation like a master. Thinking on his feet and on the fly, he keeps The Oakwood Club's members happy with highly personalized service, and good straightforward American cuisine.

A perfect example of Chef Dennis' formidable coping skills occurred during the snowstorms that buried Cleveland early in November. With businesses closed throughout the city, power out, Dennis and his team still managed to serve a wedding reception of 200! Bad enough that the bride and groom had to plow through blizzard conditions to tie the knot, at least they could count on the consumate professionalism of The Oakwood's staff to make their reception work. Using propane and charcoal briquettes, Chef Dennis even provided the originally agreed upon menu, keeping the party going, making the event a happy one for the couple, who will no doubt be telling their grandchildren about that rock and roll chef who saved their wedding day! Savor the flavor of fall -- Chef Dennis' autumnal special -- Chicken in a pot, served in a ceramic pot, full of succulent simmered fowl, seasonal vegetables, and the savory flavor of fall.
