After earning a choice internship through the New England Culinary Institute in Montpelier, Vt., Smith received formal training in Chambéry, France before returning to his hometown of Raleigh in 2004 to serve as executive chef at Ogan’s first restaurant venture, Michael Dean’s Seafood Grill and Oyster Bar, which recently transitioned into being the second location of Rocky Top’s popular Tribeca Tavern.
