Executive Chef MIKE HARRISONOur Executive Chef Michael Harrison is a native central Oregonian. When he was 15 he started washing dishes at Scanlon's, a local restaurant here in Bend, Oregon. 3 years later, after doing every job in the kitchen, he knew he was called to be a chef so he enrolled at Johnson & Wales University in Denver graduating with a degree in Culinary Arts in 2005.
He has worked for Hilton and Westmark Hotels, assisted in the opening of 38degrees Bistro before becoming the Chef d' Cuisine at Zydeco Kitchen and Cocktails/28 restaurant. He opened his own cafe specializing in South American Cuisine before taking the position of Executive Chef, Broken Top Country Club. And as life has a funny way of working out sometimes he ended up back at Scanlon's but not washing dishes this time but as the Executive Chef. Mike brings a great depth of experience and knowledge to Worthy Brewing and we are fortunate to have him on board and excited about the menus he is preparing for the restaurant. |
