Post his graduation from Ole Miss, Dan embarked on a career in the metals industry in New Orleans, deepening his passion for all things epicurean. In 1998, a pivotal move to New York brought Dan into the orbit of his first mentor, the renowned Mario Batali. Bonding over discussions about airplanes and salami, their friendship blossomed, leading to Dan’s inaugural culinary role as a prep chef at Batali’s Po in the West Village. The collaboration extended to the launch of a Salumeria in Studio del Gusto at Italian Wine Merchants, where Dan not only managed day-to-day operations but also conducted cooking classes and oversaw the charcuterie program. Concurrently, he lent his skills to The Food Network, contributing to some of the network’s most prominent programs. In 2003, Dan, alongside his wife Meredith, departed Manhattan to establish their culinary footprint in Oxford, MS. The result was L&M’s Kitchen and Salumeria, a cherished establishment blending Southern American and Italian cuisines. Gourmet Magazine recognized L&M Kitchen as one of the “best farm-to-table restaurants in the South” within two years, while Dan earned a James Beard Foundation nomination for Best Chef South. After five years running L&M’s, Dan and Meredith sought new horizons in Atlanta, GA, where Dan conceptualized and brought to life what is now Culinary Guide Shop.
