Role at Blue Ribbon
Suzanne joined Blue Ribbon in 1998 and has been part of the culinary team for 27 years. Her Michelin-starred Paris training (Le Grande Vefour, Christian Etienne) reflects the same rigorous foundation as the Bromberg brothers’ own training.
Significance
The shared Le Cordon Bleu class with bruce-bromberg (1991) is a notable connection — it suggests she and Bruce may have known each other before Blue Ribbon. Her Michelin-starred training in Paris places her in a peer group with the founders and kris-polak in terms of culinary pedigree.
Her 27-year tenure makes her one of the long-term contributors referenced in the staff retention data. See overview for context.
