ABOUT SUSAN SPICER
Susan Spicer began her culinary career in 1979, as an apprentice to French chef, Daniel Bonnot at the Louis XVI in New Orleans. After spending the summer of 1982 in Paris in the kitchen of MOF Roland Durand, she returned to take on her first chef position at Savoir Faire, a small French-inspired bistro. From there, Susan continued her education through work and travel and in 1986 opened the tiny, but soon famous, Bistro at Maison deVille in the French Quarter. In 1990, with partner, Regina Keever, she unveiled Bayona in a beautiful Creole cottage, complete with romantic courtyard dining. She went on to partner with former sous-chef, Donald Link at Herbsaint in 2000 (selling her partnership in 2008) and most recently opened Mondo, a casual, family-friendly restaurant in Lakeview, the neighborhood where she lives with her husband and two teenage stepchildren. In 2010, Susan was inducted into the James Beard "Who's Who of Food and Beverage in America". She continues to divide her time between the two restaurants, as well as being active in many community fundraisers and projects. She is considering her next move, which may be a new cookbook to follow up 2007's "Crescent City Cooking".
