About Today's Guest, Nancy Gilmour

Often times the most rewarding journeys aren't made in a straight line, and that's certainly the case with Nancy Gilmour. Being a successful food professional wasn’t always the plan she had for her life. She originally set out to be a painter and sculptor, and like many with a passion for the arts, she supported that passion with work in the restaurant industry. While living in Spain in her 20s she discovered her passion for cuisine. Living with a group of artists, money was understandably tight, but despite that, they always managed to eat well. With beautifully set tables, and beautiful food, Nancy discovered that she could combine her love for art, and a newfound passion for excellent food.

That journey led to her owning and operating her own restaurant for eight years, as well as working with some top chefs, before accepting her role as Executive Chef at Aramark.
