He graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris in 1996, with a "Grand Diplome Le Cordon Bleu", a distinguished degree with honors and merit. Because of his hard work and focus, Welch earned premiere opportunities to work and perfect his skills in some of Paris' most acclaimed restaurants, including Chez Maxims, Guy Savoy, and Le Closerie Du Lilas to name a few.

He has won many awards and accolades from local food festivals and BBQ competitions, from both attendees and judges for his careful attention to flavor and presentation.
We Do It Right
Chef Welch is proud to announce the opening of his first brick and mortar location, Fire Craft BBQ, located at 2665 Royal Forest Dr. Suite B10, Kingwood TX 77339.
He and his talented team have combined the concept of a small French kitchen with a BBQ restaurant and continue to offer the highest quality smoked & roasted meats, southern sides and desserts that can be found anywhere.
- Our meats come from ranches, not feed lots
- We receive them in their least-processed state
- We use salt and pepper, not MSG
- Natural whole spices and herbs for our rubs
