Executive Chef

Annie Cuggino

Executive Chef Annie Cuggino has spent the past 20 years creating strong and lasting relationships with many local farmers and producers, whose products are featured heavily in her menus.

Chef Annie earned her degree in Culinary Arts from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park in New York. Her first break into the culinary industry was at the Union Square Cafe in New York City under Chef Michael Romano and owner Danny Meyer. Their highly knowledgeable yet nurturing atmosphere majorly impacted Annie’s style and the importance of mentorship. Quickly working her way through the ranks from prep cook through hotline grill, she was in attendance when the restaurant won a coveted three stars from the New York Times. After moving to Portland, Oregon, Chef Annie became the Executive Chef of the Veritable Quandary, where she was instrumental in the 22-year metamorphosis, changing a casual bar into the fine dining establishment Portland had come to know and love. She continues her legacy at Q Restaurant & Bar, focusing on hyper-seasonal ingredients in unique, and modern ways.
