A Vintage Affair Chef – Phillip Bond
Chef Phillip Bond has always had a passion for food and cooking. From an early age he enjoyed following recipes and making things from scratch and spent a great deal of time in the kitchen with his grandmother learning to cook authentic Mexican food. This love of cooking led him to a career with Sodexo, beginning as a dishwasher in 2014 at Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa. In 2020, he accepted the position of Executive Chef at Buena Vista University. In 2022, Phillip came to work as the Executive Chef for Sodexo at Montana State University Billings. In this role he is responsible for residential dining, retail dining, and executing catering events of all sizes.
In his free time, he loves to cook authentic Mexican cuisine and BBQ. He also loves spending time in the great outdoors fishing and hiking.
WINEMASTER SOIREE Chef – DANIEL BURT
Daniel Burt is a caterer/personal chef, serving Billings and surrounding areas with gourmet foods for all occasions. He crafts his food using skills learned in his 15 year fine-dining restaurant and catering career. A Billings, MT, native, Daniel has also worked in Missoula, and Portland, OR, most notably under Chef Cathy Whims (Nostrana) in Portland, and local chef Dirk Frickel. His cooking focuses on high quality ingredients, and local/sustainable foods as much as possible. He likes his food to be simple, yet memorable: simple, using solid technique and attention to detail, yet memorable by using lesser known ingredients or combinations of ingredients that provide guests with a memorable meal.
His partner Jessica helps him provide the guests with exceptional customer service. When he’s not in the kitchen, you can find them spending time outdoors with their son Maclan.
