Cuvee 30A Owner
Chef Tim Creehan

As the owner of Florida’s Cuvee 30A, Nonna’s Ristorante and Pandora’s Steakhouse, Chef Tim Creehan’s career reads like the American dream. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, but spending most of his childhood and young adult life in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he discovered his calling at a very young age. He was gifted with an extraordinary talent in the culinary arts and the vision of an entrepreneur, and he delighted in sharing it with the world. Now a respected local businessman with bona fides, he is a Certified Executive Chef, author, teacher, inventor, a dynamic entertainer and a steward of his community.

Creehan’s career began at Steak & Ale in Baton Rouge when he was only 14 years old. Two years later, he was the Executive Chef at Joey’s. Studying under Executive Chef Philippe Parola and then working side-by-side with John Folse, he progressed to Executive Chef at Lafitte’s Landing in Donaldsonville, Louisiana at only 19.  This pattern continued into the present, where he was awarded as Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association’s Restaurateur of the Year.

Commonly dubbed the area’s “celebrity chef”, Creehan regularly appeared on various local and national television shows. He’s personally cooked for a slew of celebrities, including Bruce Willis, Jessica Simpson, Debra Winger, Cybill Shepherd, Timothy Hutton, and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. He served as Chef de Cuisine at the Entertainment Tonight/Getty Images/Gibson Guitar Lodge during the Sundance Film Festival, where he dished up delicacies for the likes of Matthew Broderick, Danny Glover, and Alan Rickman.  Recently, Creehan’s longtime friend Emeril Lagasse featured Creehan and Cuvee 30A in an episode of Emeril’s Florida airing on both the Cooking Channel and Food Network.
