“I’m excited to be representing Granoff’s Black Label line at the upcoming National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago May 21-24, demonstrating the many uses of this fine new gourmet product.” says Chef Tafoya. Granoff is a caviar alternative that is capturing the attention of a growing number of chefs since its introduction at the New York Fancy Foods Show in 2004, where Chef Tafoya created a number of innovative dishes. It can already be found on chef and dining tables in New York, Atlanta, Miami and Las Vegas.

Chef Tafoya calls Granoff “a welcome alternative to endangered, expensive traditional caviar. An affordable option, this caviar can be used in all of the same ways as traditional caviar. It also has the added benefit of being used with hot foods, unlike caviar.” Taste tests place Granoff close to Osetra caviar in flavor and close to Beluga with its buttery texture, with a clean finish and no after-taste.

In addition to being the culinary face of Granoff Caviar, Mark Tafoya continues to serve New York City clients of ReMARKable Palate Personal Chef Service. He provides customized meals for busy professionals, families on the move, and affluent clients who appreciate fine home cuisine. He also offers cooking lessons for individuals and interactive party classes for groups. During the summer months, ReMARKable Palate Personal Chef Service operates in the resort community of Fire Island Pines as well as in Manhattan.

“I pride myself on offering customized solutions for each client’s needs. Nothing pleases me more than coming up with the perfect menu for a romantic dinner for two or a varied menu of family meals”, says Mark. “My passion for international cuisine is expressed in the menus I offer to my clients.”

He is currently working on a project which will marry his loves of travel, culture, writing and food: A book project exploring many micro-regional cuisines, and introducing new depths of flavor and cultural understanding to American palates. “With the addition of Granoff caviar to my repertoire, I will be able to offer even more exciting and affordable dishes to my clients.”
