hen the pandemic hit last spring, Broomall resident Scott Noye found himself at a career crossroads. “I was working in the restaurant and hospitality industry when the coronavirus started,” said Scott. “Because of the impact it had on that industry, I had to reinvent myself.” Looking for a way to combine his work experience with the things he loves, he founded Chef Dad’s Table, local cooking classes for children and teens. “I always wanted to be a teacher. and now I get to share what I’ve learned over the years. My life has come full circle,” he added. As a kid growing up in Boston, Scott was inspired to learn how to cook from his aunts and grandmothers. “My mom didn’t really like cooking, but I paid a lot of attention to my aunts and grandmothers in the kitchen, and I enjoyed testing out their recipes,” said Scott. After earning a Bachelor’s degree in Hotel and Hospitality Management from Johnson & Wales University, he worked in different hotels along the east coast before settling in Broomall. He has lived here since 1995, and it’s where he has raised his children: Marshall, Sarah and Natalie. “I love the Broomall

area. I love my neighbors and my neighborhood. It’s got great accessibility to Philadelphia, New York, Washington, DC, and the Jersey shore,” said Scott. “And my children got a great education at Marple Newtown High School.” Scott was working in hospitality management at Widener University when the pandemic hit and the university had to close temporarily. “I saw this time as a unique opportunity to try something new,” he explained. In the fall of 2020, Scott began tutoring students and helping parents who needed help with their children’s virtual learning. He used cooking and baking to help with academic skills, and his students enjoyed his science experiments using food.
