Inspiring Conversations with Chad Fuhreck of Seize the Cafe

Today we’d like to introduce you to Chad Fuhreck.

Hi Chad, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I have always been interested in cooking food. By the time I was 15 I was working on the hot line in a small but highly rated by Milwaukee WI food critic restaurant. In my early 20s I worked at Canlis and worked my way up to just under chef de cuisine. I then studied under Joel Robuchon in Paris for 6 months. I then took a chef position at a restaurant in southern Oregon that had a 5 acre organic farm in the back . I then worked at Theo chocolate in Seattle becoming the head chocolatier and main taster until I finally had the opportunity to open Seize the Cafe.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Mostly I learned how much I had to learn and what were the common struggles of restaurants to to and avoid them.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Seize the Cafe ?
We specialize in baked goods, chocolate, soups and sandwiches and do dinner every Thursday -Saturday and do a different menu every week.

What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
Be respectful to the people that work with you.
