Chef Paul Farmelo

Chef Paul Farmelo is the instructor for high school students at Seneca Highlands Career and Technical Center in Port Allegany, PA. He teaches culinary arts in conjunction with restaurant operations in the “Eagle’s Nest” restaurant which is with-in the school. Students prepare and serve a vast array of culinary delights as part of their education for the public to enjoy. SHCTC’s culinary program is a reality based culinary experience for students desiring a career in the hospitality industry. Students learn all facets of the industry: front of the house operations, menu design and costing, hot and cold food preparation, baking, and ServSafe® sanitation certification.

Paul’s parents hail from Port Allegany Pa. though his culinary roots stem from Columbus, Ohio where he attended culinary school while apprenticing as a young chef in a four star French restaurant. Paul’s travels and training sent him abroad to Lämmerspiel Germany and back stateside to Champagne, Illinois, Seattle, Washington, and Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio. He and his family currently reside in Eldred, PA. Prior to joining CTC, Paul, Karen, and Adam, owned and operated a casual restaurant in Eldred, Pa. called “Farmelos’ Restaurant and Tavern”. Chef Paul’s plans are now to share his expertise with young students to prepare them for an exciting culinary career.

Chef Paul and SHCTC would like to invite and encourage those interested in the hospitality industry to visit his program facilities and become aware of the opportunities that await them at Seneca Highlands Career and Technical Center.
