Chef Felix Maietta, C.E.C. Executive Chef and owner of Union Gourmet Market & Café has been the Executive Chef at the distinguished Down Town Club in Society Hill, Philadelphia for the past 15 years.

He is an award-winning chef and has earned his professional certification as Certified Executive Chef (CEC) from the prestigious American Culinary Federation. Chef Felix has been chosen to host not one but two annual dinners for the American Academy of Chefs. Attended by chefs from all over the country, it is an evening of camaraderie, exquisite food and awards and is quite an honor to have been selected to cook for his contemporaries.

While Chef Felix has cooked for royalty and celebrities, perhaps his most challenging and exhilarating experience was to prepare cuisine for former President Clinton. Not only was the pressure on to create a wonderful dinner for the then seated President of the United States, he had to accomplish it with two Secret Service agents by his side monitoring his every move!

His passion for the culinary arts and his commitment to excellence are reflected in his menus and presentations, which carefully utilize the freshest seasonal ingredients possible and incorporate the latest in food trends. His innovative menus include many new Signature dishes expressly created for Union Gourmet Market & Café customers.
