| Introduction | Black Trumpet Chef Evan Mallett entered the restaurant business in 1989 under the tutelage of Chef Jeff Tunks. In 1998, after serving as a restaurant critic, food writer and freelance writer Evan moved--with his wife, Denise--to Portsmouth. After starting at Lindbergh’s as a line cook, Evan was named Executive Sous Chef at the Spanish-themed restaurant, Ciento, in 1999. In 2001 the Mallett family moved to San Miguel de Allende, a mountain village in Central Mexico, where Denise and Evan jointly operated a restaurant and gourmet food shop. Evan returned to Portsmouth with his family in 2003 to assume the post of Executive Chef at Lindbergh’s. While hiking with his family, Evan—an avid mushroom forager—happened on a meadow of black trumpet mushrooms. The name Black Trumpet at once evokes sleek lines, a wild edible mushroom and jazz. Evan and Denise bought the restaurant in March of 2007. They live in southern Maine with Eleanor (14), Cormac (11), Evan’s dad, a dog, a cat and chickens on a mushroom-rich woodland parcel. |
