His journey began at age fifteen, when he was introduced to the field by his enrollment in a culinary vocational program through school. Working locally at a Crown American Hotel in his hometown of Frederick, Maryland, Bryan began gaining the knowledge and experience that led him to become Sous Chef at the age of eighteen. Although he was young, Bryan gained the respect of his peers and the company which allowed him to tackle responsibilities like leading the culinary team in Atlanta for the 1996 summer Olympics and later the role of Executive Chef at an Indiana, Pennsylvania property. Searching for more formal training, Bryan decided to further his career by enrolling in the Culinary Institute of America. However, Bryan was drawn to the kitchen so during his time in Hyde Park, New York, he worked at the Hamilton Inn in nearby Millerton. When it came time to apply his new found culinary knowledge, Bryan looked toward New York City. He staged at many restaurants before accepting a position at Charlie Palmer’s famed restaurant, Aureole. Again after working his way through the kitchen ranks, including some time working with the Pastry Chef John Miele, he was promoted to Sous Chef under Executive Chef Gerry Hayden. Bryan worked with Chef Hayden for a year before new Executive Chef Dante Boccuzzi was brought in to head the stoves at Aureole. During his time with Chef Boccuzzi, Bryan left for France to stage at the two star Michelin Restaurant Pic in Valence. After a twelve year journey in the culinary field, Bryan has returned to his hometown area as the Executive Chef of Charlie Palmer’s newest restaurant Charlie Palmer Steak, Washington D.C.
