Muddling Madness at Red Rock Bistro
Why is the rum gone?

Lee Fannon, Executive Chef at Red Rock Bistro since summer of 2005, grew up in a food-focused household, where both his mother and his grandmother encouraged him to bake. As early as high school, Fannon was working in a local "fry shack" and dreaming of a career in the culinary arts.
After high school, Fannon headed to the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vermont. While in school, he got his first taste of the Boston restaurant scene interning under Chef Jamie Mammano at Mistral in the South End. Once he graduated, Fannon headed back to Boston, working his way through several key kitchen positions under Chef-Owner Tony Ambrose at Ambrosia on Huntington. He soon landed at the Red Rock Bistro, in Swampscott as Pastry Chef, where his skill with chocolate, pastry dough and New England fruit desserts soon made him a favorite among North Shore diners.
The versatile Chef soon abandoned his love affair with sugar and switched to the savory side of the Red Rock kitchen. Fannon is enthusiastic about the dayboat fish and shellfish he has to work with and the encouragement he gets from Red Rock's owners when it comes to using top quality ingredients in creative ways.
"You don't need to stay in the big city to eat fine food," says Fannon, who's well on his way to making Swampscott an unparalleled dining destination all year round.
