......................John McPherson,
.............Executive Chef Clyde’s of Chevy Chase

I developed an interest in cooking as a child…I learned to
prepare meals myself by looking through cookbooks and
experimenting with recipesI used to make recipes over and
over again until I got them exactly right. So, really, I was
thrown into cooking and it’s stayed with me.”




What’s great about my job is the opportunity to combine my passion for fine dining with managing a busy, high profile restaurant. Clyde’s is a successful corporation that values high quality food and fine service. I love being able to get the freshest food available and create great meals. And, I really enjoy teaching my staff how to cook and run a restaurant.”






Clyde’s has a wonderful philosophy of developing people and I enjoy being part of that.”


My wife, Kathy, and I both cook. We often relax over dinner at home. When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll find me relaxing on my boat with Jack, our Labrador Retriever.”
