MEET THE EQUINOX EXECUTIVE CHEF

Daniel Black describes his techniques for cooking nouveau-classic French cuisine as putting a modern twist on simple and perfectly executed flavors. Drawing influence from greats like Thomas Keller, Grant Achatz and Daniel Boulud, Black presents the old world of French cuisine in a new light.

Black has 12 years of professional experience and degrees from the Culinary and Hospitality Institute of Chicago and Le Cordon Bleu. He worked under Rick Turmanto at Tru while still in school, and began working at the Marriott in Oak Brook, IL with Tyler Anderson following graduation. While there, he was able to hone the skills he had learned both from school and his previous training, making “cutting edge cuisine practical and approachable.”
