5 Minutes With Dennis Littley of Ask Chef Dennis

For McCool Travel’s 138th travel interview, I am pleased to present Chef Dennis Littley from Ask Chef Dennis. I met him at the closing social event at the recent TBEX travel conference in Huntsville, Alabama, where my hands and face were halfway into a plate of Asian ribs. Dennis was gracious enough to not flee our table and I am inspired by his social media influence. Here is more from the legend.
Chef Dennis Littley‘s bio: “Retired Chef and Culinary Instructor, beginning a second career as a food and travel blogger.
