Central MA Up + Comer: Two Chefs’ Cassandra Clough & Rafael Guzman

Thursday, March 13, 2014

 

Rafael Guzman and Cassandra Clough's love for food and cooking have brought them together in more ways than one.

Two Chef Restaurant and Pastry Shop co-owners Rafael Guzman, the savory chef, and
 Cassandra Clough, the pastry chef, both graduated from Vermont's New England
 Culinary Institute in 2006. Rafael grew up in Puerto Rico, where he started
 cooking at the age of 16. After graduating with his AOS in culinary arts, he 
went on to work in Boston and New York City. In New York he worked at Craft, restaurant of Bravo's Top Chef judge Tom
 Colicchio. Cassandra grew up in Central
 Massachusetts where she began baking at Salem Cross Inn at the age of 17. After
 graduating with her AOS in Baking and Pastry Arts, she went on to work at various 
bakeries and coffee shops throughout the Massachusetts area. Now they have
 joined forces to bring great food and pastries to the area through their own restaurant.

A conversation with Cassandra Clough and Rafael Guzman

SW: How did you two meet?

CC: We met in culinary school. We were in the same block (which is a group of people you have all your classes with). We had one class where Rafael and I were partners. We had to make savory food, which I am not really good at, so Rafael taught me a lot in that class. After culinary school we lost touch for about three years. Rafael went to NYC and I came back home to MA. I never forgot about him and was wondering about him a lot when he finally contacted me through Facebook! After some e-mails and phone calls I took a train to NYC and we just reconnected during that trip. Rafael moved to MA three months later and the rest is history! We just got engaged during a recent vacation to Key West in August!. I’m a very lucky lady to have such an all-around great guy by my side. He is so incredibly talented and works so hard at our restaurant; he makes Two Chefs what it is!

SW: When did you get the idea to join forces on Two Chefs?

CC: We started thinking about opening a place of our own in 2010. At first I was just going to open a small bakery and Rafael was going to keep cooking at his current job. We were looking into a place to rent for the bakery and we were told about the building we are in now. We drove over and peeked in the windows. We saw potential and figured, why not? So we decided to go for it and open a restaurant. I’m so glad that we did! We opened up in December 2010, it was one crazy year!

SW: Can you talk a little about your background in the field?

CC: Being a baker is the only job I have ever had. Baking at Salem Cross Inn was my first job and that’s when I decided to forgo traditional college and go to culinary school. After school I worked in western MA. Some of my favorite jobs were working as an assistant pastry chef at a high end restaurant, high volume baking at Atkins’ Country Market, making bread at Whole Foods Market and being the head baker at a really busy café where I helped open the bakery. I learned so much from each and every job I had.

RG: My whole professional career has always been in the hospitality industry. I started as a dishwasher in a pizza restaurant in Puerto Rico when I was 16 years old, just working nights after school. Pretty soon I was working as waiter, then as a cook and finally as the night shift manager. In my early 20s I just kept working in different restaurants trying to figure out what to do with my life, should I go to a traditional college, become a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer etc., something that would make my parents proud, more than just a cook. Finally in 2004 I decide to become a chef and make a career out of my passion for food. After attending college in Vermont, I moved to NYC for a 6-month internship at Craft restaurant that turned out to be a 3-year life-changing indoctrination, boot camp style, into the world of fine dining and culinary arts. There is no better learning experience than working at a restaurant where every day only perfection is expected from you. You are pushed to your limits and then some, but the end result is quite surprising. It’s amazing the things your mind and body can accomplish as a chef given the right amount of inspiration—or should I say, pressure.

SW: What makes Two Chefs stand out from the competition?

CC: I think Rafael is the answer to that question. He is so talented. With the help of one other person he cooks everything. His experience has really made him into such a great chef and I’m so happy that our customers realize that! I once had a customer tell me that they just trust Rafael. If they are not sure they will like something new, that Two Chefs is the place to try it, because whatever Rafael makes is always so good. That’s what makes us stand out.

RG: You have to take pride in your work, always taste the food that’s going out from a simple hand cut French fry to a filet mignon. Never cut corners, use fresh ingredients as much as possible, and treat your guests as family members coming in for Sunday dinner.

SW: What is on the drawing board for Two Chefs in 2014?

CC: I certainly hope to keep making the small changes we have been making to better the restaurant over the year….but who knows? Maybe we will make some major changes this year…it feels like it’s going to be a good year!

RG: Homemade raviolis if I can find the time and more Puerto Rican food!

SW: Are you involved in the community?

CC: We do support various charities and groups around our area. We also enjoy cooking for the Taste of the Nation in West Boylston. It’s such a great event and so much fun because we get to meet future customers and give them a taste of our food.

SW: Who or what has had the greatest influence on your life?

CC: For me I would have to say my parents. Growing up I learned to bake with my mom. She always let my friends and I take over the kitchen and bake. My dad really gave us the push to open our own place. I don’t think we would have done so without either of them.

RG: Both my parents are the reason I am the man I am today. They instilled in me an amazing work ethic; they struggled a lot to provide my sister and I with food, clothing, and an education. Those are things people might take for granted these days, but 30 years ago in PR they were hard to come by. Also in NYC I learn a lot from chefs like Damon Wise, Akthar Newab, and Lauren Hirschberg.

SW: What is the something that few people know about you?

RG: I love quarter pounders; isn’t it ironic?

SW: How do you define success?

CC: That’s a tough one. In my opinion, there are different levels of success. I think we are just scraping the surface of ours. I hope to see all of our dreams for Two Chefs starting to come true. That would feel like success for me. 

RG: Career-wise, it would be a James Beard Award or nomination. As a person it would be to be able to have a family—my parents really want grandkids.

SW: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

CC: I don’t know! Life is so surprising, but I’m looking forward to finding out!

RG: Maybe as a culinary instructor or an owner of Puerto Rican-style sandwich shop and bakery.
