Chef Benjamin Peacock

Classically trained at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park NY, Ben completed his bachelors in 2011 and immediately became a member of the prestigious opening team at Menton, in Boston. He moved up from Commis to Sous Chef before moving to Burgundy France to be a private chef and wine harvest intern at the prestigious Domaine Dujac. When he returned he was a part of the opening team at Woods Hill Table as the Executive Sous Chef. After four years he was hired to be the Executive Chef of a new restaurant group and consulted in opening two restaurants including Lily P’s in Cambridge, where he was the executive chef before it was abruptly closed due to COVID-19.
