Brian Joseph Allford

Brian Joseph Allford, 31, of Broad Ripple passed away Monday, May 11, 2009 at his residence. Born March 1, 1978, in Greenfield, he was the son of Joseph Michael and Ruth (Nunery) Allford. Joseph was a pastry chef-extraordinaire – the man behind the pastries, cakes, and chocolates at Peterson’s Restaurant for many years before leaving in March 2008. He also provided clients all over the United States with private catered events and wedding cakes. Since leaving Peterson’s, he had transitioned into teaching his craft, first at the Art Institute International Culinary School, and most recently at the Chef’s Academy and Frasier’s Gourmet Foods in Fishers where his classes were always crowd pleasers. He was young, vibrant, and is a great loss to Indianapolis’ culinary community.
