Roof 106 Chef

Brian started cooking in his hometown dinner theater in Maryland. In NYC, he cooked at Montrachet, Layla, and Tribecca Grill under restaurateur Drew Nieporent. He ventured to LA, as the sous chef​ chef de cuisine in the intimate kitchen of Hatfield’s, earning a coveted Michelin star and LA’s restaurant of the year. Chef Brian then spent years traveling and learning everything he could about pizza doughs and ovens, while tasting local ingredients in their native regions. When he landed in Sonoma County, he was instantly inspired.

“I love everything about the food culture and agricultural roots of Sonoma County. I’ve never lived in a place where so many people are integral to the food process; it’s like being a chef in paradise.”
