About CHEF WINSTON BLICK
Chef Winston Blick was born and raised in Maryland. He spent much of his childhood with his Grandfather and Uncles, hunting and fishing in the rural areas around the Chesapeake Bay. Growing up around watermen and farmers, Winston got to taste the bounty of Maryland’s regional delicacies, which influences his cooking today. He started his culinary adventure as a dishwasher. After two days, he realized that where there’s fire, there’s fun and forced his way into the hot line. He’s been cooking ever since. Clementine is the culmination of years of training and experimentation, both professionally and for fun. Winston owns Clementine with his old lady, Cristin Dadant. His Mother, Paige, does all the baking. He can be glimpsed through the apple crates cooking with Joe Herbick and Jeremy Price.
