👏UClub News👏

Join us in sending a big congratulations to Chef Alex Pasterkiewicz on his promotion to Executive Chef! 🥳

Chef Alex has served as our Sous Chef for the past 2 years, and members and their guests have raved about his food & wine pairings, creativity with menu features, and friendly table side interactions.👨‍🍳

was born and raised outside of DC, with his first cooking experiences in his grandmother’s kitchen, helping her make fresh pasta and pizza from scratch (YUMMM!). At 14, he started working in professional kitchens, learning pastry and moving through the ranks to earn his first sous chef job at 19.

After moving to Durham in 2018, he specialized in French cuisine as a pastry chef and creating wine pairing menus while still infusing his Italian heritage in French cooking styles.

He began his post as Sous Chef at the UClub in Summer 2022. 🎉 Chef Alex’s knowledge of a variety of cooking techniques helped the UClub achieve success in the competition over 7 other prominent chefs in the Triangle earlier this spring. His contributions helped us get our big win! 🏆

Be sure to congratulate next time you dine with us! 👏

We also say adios and wish the best of luck in his future endeavors to Chef Alejandro Uribe - after 16 years here at the Club and 8 years as our Executive Chef! 🤍
