EDWARD PAYNE | Regional Sales Manager And Executive Chef

Eddie’s love and passion for hospitality developed at age 13 when he began making homemade pizza. At 18 years old, he started his career at the Ritz Carlton in Boston where the standard of “Ladies and Gentlemen Serving Ladies and Gentlemen” was instilled in him. In his mid-twenties, Eddie got his first Executive Chef position at Davio’s Northern Italian Steak House, where he experienced true Italian cuisine. When his daughters Samantha and Amanda were
born, a new passion flourished—family! He transitioned into the manufacturing and sales side of the industry; spending 10 years at Joseph’s Gourmet Pasta as Chef/Director of foodservice sales. When the company sold to Nestle, Eddie became a Managing Partner of Tuscan Brands, an artisan Italian Kitchen. After 5 years there, he joined the team at TriMark as the Boston Regional Manager. In 2018 Eddie was excited to join the TriMark Innovation Center team, part of his role is to help provide a high-end experience in the Test Kitchen.
