Scott Hybbeneth Executive Chef California Cafe, began his professional cooking career working part time as a way to earn extra money to pay for college. After graduation, Scott worked his way up through the ranks of several restaurants in his native New Jersey.

Here, Scott was given the opportunity to learn the art of pastry and desserts. During his tenure, Scott served as Pastry Chef as well as Chef de Cuisine. It was not until a trip to Italy’s Piemonte in 1998 that Scott fell in love with the sincerity and simplicity of Northern Italian food. On subsequent trips to Italy and other European countries, he had the unique opportunity to meet with food and wine producers and was privileged enough to indulge in some of the best meals of his life. Sourcing artesian products and working with the finest seasonal ingredients became the backbone of his cooking. Visit www.californiacafe.com/littleton
