FELICO’S CATERING CHEF APPEARANCE

12:00pm SATURDAY AND SUNDAY!

RAPHAEL HERNANDEZ- EXECUTIVE CHEF AND OWNER:

Raphael Hernandez, born in El Salvador, never went near the kitchen when growing up. Cooking was traditionally not done by men, says Raphael, now the head chef and partner in Felico’s Restaurant & Catering. As his family moved to the United States, Raphael started working at Cafe Testarossa in Syosset, first as a bus boy, but quickly working his way up while learning everything that goes into the works of a restaurant. As time went by, his natural talent for cooking paired with creativity became impossible not to notice. Together with Frank Felico and Joann Corbisero, Raphael has shaped Felico’s Restaurant & Catering into powerful catering company with unsurpassable expertise in off premises catering. There’s no one who can do it better than us, he says, with a twinkle in his eyes. We have pictures to prove it, just visit our website and take a peek at the photo galleries. After 16 years at Felico’s, he is still as enthusiastic as ever about serving quality food, saying he loves it when people love the food he makes. Raphael believes his roots have helped shape him into a better and more creative chef. Moving from one country to another and exploring different cuisines enhance your palate and make you invent new flavor combinations, he says. Raphael’s cooking style could be best described as American-Italian and his own favorites to eat are pasta and seafood.  Felico’s Catering (85 Allen Boulevard, Farmingdale, NY 11735 [631] 249-1401- Restaurant – [631] 777-1999- Catering www.felicoscatering.com)- Starting his adolescent years, Frank Felico Jr. began working with his father in the business of serving renowned sausage and pepper heroes in New York City.
