About Dominique Rooney
“Ignited by my travels, I am always on the quest for something that will challenge my tastes!” At the age of 17 Dominique Rooney traveled the world as a fashion model appearing on runways and in magazines, commercials and television internationally. Dining in some of the most exquisite restaurants just went with the territory.
Ex- model turned chef, Dominique, a native Angeleno, is the granddaughter of legendary actors Mickey Rooney and Martha Vickers. Experienced and well-traveled, her shoes and handbag always match. Dominique tells it like she sees it: She has a no-tolerance policy on dirt, expects a high standard of service and always dissects and smells everything she eats! Blending her multicultural cooking skills honed since childhood with her Hollywood sensibility, Dominique created FOOD MEETS FASHION.
