Robert Harris' passion for cooking began in his mother's kitchen in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where she taught him to prepare traditional Southern dishes with fresh produce from their neighbors' farms. Robert honed his skills at the Culinary Institute of America and at the esteemed Commander's Palace in New Orleans. He then moved north with his family to Cambridge, MA, and joined the teams at some of Cambridge’s most extraordinary restaurants, including East Coast Grill, EVOO and Casablanca. While serving as the East Coast Grill Catering Director, Robert was inspired to create his own catering company, Season To Taste, with a deep commitment to ingredient-driven, locally-sourced dishes for private dining events. Next he took that passion to open his first brick and mortar restaurant, The Table at Season To Taste, located in North Cambridge. In this teeny tiny space Robert and his team crafted beautiful seasonal dishes nightly, and his restaurant earned local, regional and national acclaim. When the pandemic hit, Robert was forced to close the restaurant but kept a hopeful eye for another space in Cambridge, jumping at the opportunity to open the new Season To Taste in Harvard Square, Cambridge. Located across from the Harvard Law School, Season To Taste is the restaurant that Robert always dreamed of with a lovely patio, an intimate dining room, neighborhood bar and lively Chef’s Counter. Here Robert and his team focus on preparing fresh, seasonal and one-of-a-kind dishes inspired by his Southern roots, world travels, classic training while reflecting the colorful energy of Cambridge.
