Jay Curcio
Owner/Chef
Chef Jay Curcio has been actively involved in the culinary world for most of his adult life, having had the pleasure of sharing food knowledge and impeccable catering services with the Seacoast area for more than 18 years now.
Jay graduated at the top of his class from the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. He has worked for many fine dining restaurants in Chicago and Boston, and also had the opportunity to lead cook with James Beard Award winning chef Frank McClelland at L’Espalier.
He continued on as executive chef at several restaurants, gaining invaluable experience and improving his leadership qualities. The variety of experiences Jay gained during his early career in the food industry all led him to open The White Apron in 2004. Jay, along with his wife and business partner, Liz, currently own and operate The White Apron.
With his many work experiences and his varied background, Jay has a strong foundation in food and beverage preparation, wine pairing, and proper table service. He loves the fact that The White Apron allows him to oversee a team of incredible talents who help bring together the wonderful experiences we give our clients.
