Born
in Mississippi in 1980, Chef Ty Mahler started
out as a young teenage dishwasher in Indianapolis where he began
to imagine himself playing a more creative role in the culinary business.
A short while later, he tested his food preparation abilities at
a few high-end restaurants. He realized he had a natural culinary talent.
His delight and personal satisfaction in watching diners indulge
in his creations convinced him he was on the right career path.
At 16, Mahler graduated high school and began undergraduate studies
at the New England Culinary Institute
in Vermont. Being one of the youngest students to attend,
he knew there would be challenges and he had a great
deal to learn.
After graduating from the Institute, he was introduced to Chef
Jean-Michel Bouvier of L'essential and was invited to intern under
him at his Michelin Star restaurant in Chambery, France.
From Chambery, Mahler was able to work and tour throughout France,
Italy, Spain, and Australia.
Mahler's career took him to New Orleans where he worked for Emeril Lagasse as a line cook and saucier. In 2003 Mahler joined Roy's Tampa as a Sous Chef under Chef Rand Packer.
Mahler noted, "I've learned a great deal about running restaurants from the very best. I hope to share my knowledge and to always continue learning with the team in San Francisco. My goal will always be to make each customer's visit to Roy's even more exciting than the last."
