Executive Chef Daniel Roberts

Culinary Experience:  Daniel cooks from the heart.  With his extensive travels throughout the world he developed a very diverse love for all food.  Daniel’s first real experience with the kitchen came from cooking with his grandmother and mother who both raised him on Southern cooking.

Daniel has been the Executive Chef at Q Cuisine since 2004 where he specializes in traditional American bistro cuisine.  Daniel received his culinary degree from the California School of Culinary Arts (CSCA) in Pasadena, CA.  Prior to moving to Montana, Daniel had the opportunity to work at i Cugini, a popular oceanfront seafood restaurant in Santa Monica, CA and for the world-renowned Piero Selvaggio at Valentino at The Venetian Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and Valentino in Los Angeles.  Daniel’s opportunities in Billings began in 2002 at Walkers Grill as the Assistant Pastry Chef and then as their Executive Chef.

You can find Daniel in Q Cuisine’s kitchen almost every evening, but any free time is spent at home with his wife Suzy and their daughter Axelle, or at the closest available golf course.  When it comes to cooking at home, Daniel keeps it pretty simple throwing something easy on the grill and grabbing a bag of Lays.

Restaurant Cuisine:  As a guest of Q Cuisine you will quickly realize that Daniel’s menu offers food from the heart.  Favorites include the Bag ‘O Calamari and Coconut Shrimp appetizers, the ever-changing Wild Alaskan King Salmon and Ahi Tuna or the mouth-watering Rib Eye or Tenderloin.  Desserts are made with love in the kitchen at Q where Daniel’s experience as a Pastry Chef really shines through.  Every experience can be paired with a hand-picked bottle of wine or select a different wine by the glass for each course.  Cheers!
