Chef Nicholas Brune

Chef Brune was born and raised in the heart of “flavor country”…Baton Rouge, Louisiana where he began cooking and experimenting with food at a very young age. This hobby grew to be an obsession when he moved to New Orleans, and began working at Mr. B’s Bistro. After working for the Brennen Family for two years, Chef Brune became infatuated with the flavor and design of food. He then moved to Los Angeles to assume the role of head chef at Kai’s European Catering where he had full responsibility for coordinating all aspects of the Esquire Magazine events for 3 months. He quickly discovered his passion for catering private events of all sizes and budgets. Adding to his already burgeoning resume, Chef Brune introduced his personal chef skills and talents to a wide array of clientele, including celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Mike Shinoda of Lincoln Park. Today, Chef Brune has dedicated his talents to creating artful, seasonal, organic dining experiences that are full of flavor.
