Chef David Burke competes against challenger Chef Florian Wehlri in a friendly cooking competition. These two have some history – Chef Wehlri was Chef Burke’s Executive Chef at Red Horse – Bernards Inn. Witness first hand the Chefs’ creativity as they devise dishes on the spot highlighting flavor profiles and presentation of the mystery ingredient.

Chef Florian Wehlri

Born in Le Locle, Switzerland, in the heart of the Jura Mountains, Chef Florian Wehrli discovered his calling almost as soon as he could hold a knife. At just two years old, his mother handed him a potato to peel—an innocent gesture that sparked a lifelong devotion to the craft of cooking.

His commitment to exceptional ingredients and warm hospitality eventually brought him to Crystal Springs Resort as Executive Sous‑Chef. There, he oversaw five restaurants, including Restaurant Latour—named one of New Jersey’s 25 best restaurants—and the resort’s working farm. Florian also helped manage logistics for several editions of the New Jersey Food & Wine Festival, featuring culinary icons such as Thomas Keller, José Andrés, and David Burke.
