Chris is the fourth Chef to man the helm of Out of the Fire in Easton, Maryland. Out of the Fire, owned by Amy Haines, opened its doors in 2002 to rave reviews. Chris says that Amy has an awesome personality and has very generously allowed him to work his magic on the menu. Chris’s palate leans to Asian food and many of the new offerings on the menu are his creations.

With Saturday and Sunday nights off, (yes, you read correctly) Chris spends his free time hanging out with his Australian Cattle dog, Bansky, and in Washington, DC with his girl friend, Jen, dining in some of the Nations Capitol’s best restaurants. Other favorites are the eclectic restaurant choices in Annapolis, Maryland. Whenever he can, he stops into Tsunami on West Street and orders their Yomato’s Tofu, a fiery blend of secret ingredients mixed with tofu which he says is just addicting.
