Ann Marie Stefaney is the Executive Pastry Chef for Your Farms Your Table, Restaurant Constance, and Beau Monde. Initially transplanted to Charlotte from Virginia to attend Johnson and Wales in 2013, Ann Marie obtained multiple degrees surrounding the hospitality and restaurant industries. While in school, she was part of the opening team at Heirloom Restaurant and developed the pastry
program over the course of almost five years. During her time there, she was the 2017 NCRLA Pastry Chef of the Year, competed on two different Food Network competitions, was featured in an episode of local Charlotte web series Order/Fire, and was a cast member on Bravo TV's Welcome to Waverly. After leaving fine dining pastry in 2019, she moved to savory at Southminster to learn as much as possible from some of the best chefs in Charlotte. She spent the pandemic climbing the ladders there, ending as General Manager of all dining on campus. Finding her way into YFYT has been a journey to connect back with food and help change kitchen culture. Ann Marie believes that the kitchen is where she belongs, and getting back into pastry was all meant to happen.
