Evidently a great chef with many accomplishments. So sad to hear of his passing. I know Mark had to do a lot of good cooking for the family. To the family I am sorry for your loss. May God grant you a calm heart at this sad time.

Sincere condolences to the Peel Family. May Almighty God in the Heavens comfort your hearts with peace and loving kindness as you cope with this precious loss in your lives. Thank you for Mark Peel's contribution to the culinary industry. He was a celebrity chef who founded the Los Angeles restaurant Campanile and appeared on TV shows including “Top Chef.” He will be remembered and missed, but his contributions not forgotten. May family, friends and extended family cherish his memories.

Mark's beautiful and irreplaceable Campenile made my world a better place for over 20 years. He was always generous and cordial (well, we did have some political debates). Mark and Nancy created a wonderful space and delectable dishes that I will always remember. Even a perfect bread. It always augered well to see Mark with his signature cap manning the grill.
His too early passing is a loss for all of us who warmed to his welcomes and savored his unique contributions to the cuisine and atmosphere of this city.
God Bless.

We met Mark when he and Nancy gifted us a fabulous lunch long ago at the Campanile to celebrate their son Ben's college acceptance. Just as the LA Times piece suggests, he preferred to see himself as a cook, not a chef of mercurial extravagance. What was extravagant was a bouillabaise that was part of lunch.
When we extolled its many virtues, he just shrugged, understating, "it's a little fish soup."
When we moved to LA, we'd see him at the Wednesday Santa Monica farmer's market, personally collecting the items he'd transform at the Campanile into great Calicooking. We would linger behind him and buy tiny amounts of anything he was acquiring, always ending up with the best produce. As my wife said, "follow that zucchini!" We'll miss his important place in the LA food scene very much. Our sympathies to his family.
