Who is the pastry chef at Fountain Restaurant?

  1. Eddie Hales is Fountain Restaurant’s pastry chef at the Four Season Hotel Philadelphia, and he has the distinct honor of being the longest continuous Four Seasons employee in the world. He joined the hotel company as a cook in 1975, and has been making sophisticated sweets in Philly since 1983. But don’t let Eddie Hales’ 28-year tenure fool you, he is far from being an old-fashioned pastry cart pusher, and loves to employ new tricks such as spray painting chocolate. Hales’ most popular desserts are a couple of stalwart classics: a superlative crème brulée, and a chocolate soufflé that manages to be both incredibly rich and airy at the same time.
