Although he’s now a successful executive chef at XO Bistro in Manhattan Beach, Dave Martin didn’t always plan on being a professional chef. After pursuing a degree in English, Dave ended up in a career in the technology industry. He opened his own firm and felt immediate success, but he always felt that something was missing. He was constantly entertaining and cooking for friends and family, and felt that cooking was his true passion. In 2001, Dave decided to make a career change and attend cooking school at Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena. After graduating with honors, Dave formed his own catering company, As You Wish. He then went on to appear on Season 2 of Top Chef, and today works as the executive chef at a major restaurant.
