A 2006 & 2008 James Beard Foundation nominee for Best Chef, Mid-Atlantic chef Cindy Wolf's cuisine is rooted in the tradition of the “Low Country” of Southern Carolina and backed by French fundamentals. Her preparations emphasize the natural delicacy of the very finest regional products.

Prior to Charleston, Cindy Wolf won acclaim for her low country cuisine at Savannah in Baltimore and Georgia Brown’s in Wahington, DC where she originated the concept and the menu for both establishments. Chef Cindy Wolf lived in Charleston, South Carolina where she worked at several prominent restaurants. She apprenticed at Silks in the Planter’s Inn (1984-5) specializing in Regional American Cuisine. She was Sous Chef at Morton's in the Vendue Inn (1986-1990), specializing in Classical French cuisine with local influences.

Tony Foreman's business partner is Chef Cindy Wolf. Their first business venture was Savannah which opened in Baltimore’s Fells Point in 1995. From there they established Cindy Wolf’s Charleston.

Tony and Cindy then went on to develop Petit Louis Bistro a French restaurant in Baltimore’s Roland Park. Petit Louis is inspired, amongst others, by Bistro L’ami Louis in Paris and creates a convivial neighborhood restaurant renowned for its authenticity and superior service.

Tony opened PAZO in late 2004, it is a magnificent downtown restaurant and lounge serving the flavors of the Western Mediterranean in a stunning converted 1880’s machine tool shop.  PAZO has become a destination for both casual diners seeking to explore a new experience and business diners, demanding state of the art AV in a private dining suite.

The latest venture is Cinghiale, an Italian enoteca (wine bar) and osteria (tavern) that celebrates the richness and style of the North. The wine list was recognized by Food & Wine magazine as being of the best in the country in 2008.
