Paul was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. He's worked in restaurant fine dining kitchens for over 20 years, in cities like Nashville, TN., Shreveport, LA., Charlotte, N.C.and now Asheville. He may be better known for his passionate, yet rustic approach to Italian and Louisiana cuisines. He says his specialty is "good food." After his move to Asheville in late 2017, Paul was inspired by local Chefs who were opening their own businesses. Since 2020, he's made Paulieboy Enterprises a reality and has been catering private parties in multiple cities and states. He does Guest Chef Pop-Ups and participates in culinary events across the Southeast. He loves to travel the world for inspiration. He keeps his menus globally influenced, and locally sourced.
