About Chef Joey Chavez

Chavez, a Los Angeles native, attended Lamar University in Beaumont on a football scholarship. While earning his bachelor’s and culinary degrees there, he worked at a local Pappadeaux’s restaurant. That introduction to the restaurant world led to a job at Koi Sushi Bar in Beaumont, followed by La Truffe Sauvage, a French restaurant in Lake Charles. Chavez’s mentors at La Truffe Sauvage encouraged him to seek employment with an international hotel chain which led to a job at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago at the Ritz Carlton in Beaver Creek, Colo., in 2012. Chavez later staged in New York restaurants, including Le Bernardin, Per Se, 11 Madison Park, NoMad, Dovetail, and Masa. That work helped him snag a year-long training program with the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group in 2015; he worked at both The French Laundry and Bouchon. In 2016, Chavez was named chef de cuisine at the Vietnamese bistro OTD from the Slanted Door Group in San Francisco. He later worked at Caribou Club in Aspen and as executive chef at The Bygone at the Four Seasons Baltimore, where in 2019 he was voted Best New Chef from the Baltimore Sun’s Reader’s Choice Awards, and as an executive chef at Brennan’s of Houston.
