STRATEGIC PARTNERS
September 12, 2013
Eric Kinniburgh has joined the Boloco team as the chain’s director of Culinary. His responsibilities include R&D, culinary enhancement, vendor relations and food safety, among others, according to a company press release.
Kinniburgh started his career at a local Vermont pizzeria washing dishes and prepping vegetables before New England Culinary Institute hired him to work in the front of the house. In 2002, he created and starred in a local television show called Soups2Nuts that focused on creative cooking. In his 20s, he spent time working at small restaurants, health care and pharmaceutical companies, and in 2012, packed a bag and traveled to Europe to experience its cultures and food, working at restaurants in both Paris and Dublin during his time away from the States.
“Eric is a talented chef, appreciates quality and well-made food, and is a traveler at heart — those three qualities make for a great director of Culinary here at Boloco,” said CEO John Pepper. “We need a chef who can bring life to these globally inspired flavors in our menu. Who better to do that than someone who learned firsthand culinary traditions across the world?”
