ABOUT DEXTER MYLES

Chef Dexter's love of cooking started at a young age. As a child, Dexter sold fried dough to the local neighborhood kids. He attended Crosby High School, where he was part of Crosby's culinary program and a member of the FCCLA. After high school, Dexter worked his way through culinary school at the Connecticut Culinary Institute, while working at a local fast-food restaurant and caring for the disabled. 


While in school, Dexter completed his internship in Bar Harbor, Maine at Bar Harbor Inn. He also worked at a local diner while in Maine. While in school, Dexter became a member of the American Culinary Federation, also known as the ACF. Dexter graduated at CCI in 2009 for Advanced Culinary Arts.

During Chef Dexter's professional career, he had the opportunity to work at various catering companies and restaurants. In 2016, he decided to step out on faith and start his own company. D. Myles Restaurant Group was born, also known as D. Myles Chef & Catering, where the goal is to feed the soul and make every moment a soulful experience.

As a newly-found business owner, one of Chef Dexter’s goals is to make D. Myles Chef & Catering a household name. When our clients hear it, we want them to think of good service, great food, a fun experience, and how tall the chef was!
