Chef Charitos comes to TASTE with an impressive background. Third generation restaurateur, Charitos has earned his distinguished reputation through his commitment to culinary excellence. Having studied classic cuisine in The Netherlands, he became the Chef at Rhode Island’s CAV – an eclectic award winning restaurant dealing in inspired cuisine and antiques. Chef Theo returned home to Philadelphia to open Davio’s. After 2 successful years with this Northern Italian steakhouse, Chef Theo was lured away by The Drafting Room a boutique restaurant chain specializing in classic American cuisine and craft beers, to be their Corporate Chef. While at the helm, Chef Theo excelled in creating a culinary marriage between craft beer, small batch scotch and cuisine. Twelve years later, Chef Theo opened The Red Cedar Grille in Montgomery County which focuses on local flavors with a global flare. Consistently reinventing himself, Chef Theo is currently partnering with Sand Castle Winery, to open gourmet vegan restaurant offerings at TASTE.
