Many Long Beach residents know about The Federal Bar, the
majestic bank-turned-restaurant that previously housed The
Madison. What many might not know is that the popular
restaurant’s executive chef is a homegrown, Long Beach resident
himself.
Not only did Chef Tarak Ouk, known as Chef T, hone his chops in
restaurants across the city, but he first donned his chef’s coat
as a Viking.
A graduate of Long Beach City College’s Culinary Arts Program, Chef T has come a long
way.
