Teddy Sehenuk

Regional Executive Chef

Teddy fell in love with cooking in high school when he joined his school's culinary program and competed in state-level competitions. He went on to Johnson & Wales University, earning an Associate's degree in Culinary Arts and a Bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management with a focus on Event Management.

Teddy joined PRG in 2023 as Executive Chef at Upper Shirley Vineyards. Today, he serves as a Regional Executive Chef, overseeing kitchen operations across the Richmond and Danville regions and supporting the Chefs who lead each establishment. On top of that, he leads the culinary side of PRG Catering and wine dinner events, balancing creativity with menu costs and holding every kitchen to PRG's standard.

Ask Teddy what he's proudest of, and he'll point to his team. Throughout his career, his focus has been on helping others achieve things they may not even know they're capable of, and few things are more rewarding to him than watching young cooks find their passion and confidence. He stays in touch with many of the people he's worked with in the past, and he loves following their success.

When it comes to his craft, creating memories for guests is a daily source of joy. To Teddy, a meal is never just a meal, and building a menu from scratch, with every course and detail considered from the guest's point-of-view, is one of his favorite parts of the job.

Away from the kitchen, Teddy is a family man first. He loves time with his wife and daughter, and whenever possible, the family gathers at his parents' house for Sunday dinner. He's a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan, enjoys going to concerts with his wife, and if there's a chance to cook a good meal at home, he'll take it.
