Background on Chef Ken

Chef Ken Koenig CCC, CCE Department Chair of The Professional Culinary Arts & Hospitality and the Baking & Pastry Arts Programs at Lake Technical College has had a variety of culinary experiences since graduating from the Southeast Institute of Culinary Arts in St. Augustine, Fl.

His culinary career has had him cook in all types of kitchens including a stint as a private chef on a 117-foot yacht, owning and operating a restaurant and catering business and training the U.S. Navy cooks enlisted at the Kings Bay Submarine base. He worked as a sous chef for fine-dining restaurant located on the top floor of the tallest building in Jacksonville, Fl. and served as an assistant catering chef at the University of Florida. But teaching and helping the next generation of culinary chefs has truly been his niche for the last 31 years.

Before coming to Lake Technical College in 1995, he also taught at his alma mater, the Southeast Institute of Culinary Arts, and he has been an active member of the American Culinary Federation (ACF) since 1988.
