About the Chef:
The roots of inspiration of becoming a chef started at an early age for Chef Justin Rumsey, who started out his career working at his family’s ice cream and coffee house in Swarthmore, PA. He then went on to study culinary arts at a small French cooking school in Baton Rouge, LA. After finishing school, Chef Rumsey came back to the Brandywine area and worked as a chef for the next 22 years in many different positions at restaurants throughout Chester and Delaware counties. Focusing on fresh and seasonal ingredients, Chef Rumsey’s latest culinary adventure has led him to the Brandywine River Museum of Art where he now serves as Executive Chef of the Millstone Café.
