1 There s an old joke that goes "Why did the Doctor become a Chef?" Answer: "Because he wanted to cure the ham." Chef Todd Mohr brings two careers of experience as host and creator of WebCookingClasses.com. After earning his Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Arts and Broadcasting from Long Island University, Todd s career in Advertising and Marketing included positions in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Columbia, South Carolina; and Raleigh, North Carolina. Who is Chef Todd Mohr? After years in media, Todd found himself a Regional Sales Manager, and didn t like what he saw. From 6 figures to 6 dollars an hour in one afternoon, is how he describes it. I quit my job, I sold my home, I sold everything I owned in a front-lawn garage sale and enrolled in culinary school, he recounts. At Baltimore International Culinary College, he earned a dual culinary degree in cooking and baking, graduating cum laude. Combining his business acumen with his new diploma, Now Chef Todd Mohr accepted a position at the National Security Agency in Washington, DC, feeding 15,000 military top brass and civilian professionals twice daily. With skills to cook for thousands of people, Todd returned to Raleigh, as the Executive Chef at a large hospital. He created Savor Hospitality in 2002, just months after the tragedy of September 11 th. There couldn t have been a worse time to start a business, but Chef Todd did. Savor Hospitality quickly grew from office-building cafeteria to one of the most respected business dining catering companies in the area, serving many of the nation s largest companies. Chef Todd found his true passion and calling when he opened The Cooking School in As I taught classes, I began to realize that if you cook for 15,000 people or for 2 people, the cooking methods are exactly the same. Chef Todd began to promote The Cooking School at Savor Hospitality with cooking videos on YouTube, quickly generating a worldwide audience of thousands learning a new way to approach cooking. Hundreds of s telling of the life-changing effects of Chef Todd s instruction motivated him to create WebCookingClasses.com in June Chef Todd Mohr s passion is to bring a new cause to the cooking world. I want to free people from the limitations and intimidations of the written recipe and empower them to cook like an artist paints or a musician plays, with artistic interpretation and basic methods, he says proudly. So, why did the Advertising and Marketing Executive become a Chef? To empower the home cook over written recipes, to cook with their personal likes, dislikes, and artistic interpretation. Or, maybe he was just tired of poaching clients.
