Chef Duncan Firth has lived in England, Scotland, Alberta, Quebec, Czechoslovakia, Virginia, Vermont, and now California. He caught his family’s travel bug early and has since traveled through Europe, and to Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and the Caribbean. His mother’s obsession with Julia Child necessitated an assistant in the kitchen and Duncan was roped in. Since beginning his professional career, he has worked for Thomas Keller at the original Bouchon and Normand Laprise at is AAA Five-Star restaurant Toque, in Montreal. Prior to coming to Barona, Chef Duncan ran the kitchens of a catering company in Malibu, whose clients included Kelsey Grammar, Mel Gibson, Pamela Anderson, Adam Sandler and Suzanne Sommers. Duncan now divides his time between the fine dining operations at Barona and the ACF accredited Barona Culinary Institute.
