Chef Brett Knipmeyer
Brett Knipmeyer of Kinley’s Restaurant & Bar will be our guest chef for the 2010 Copper River Nouveau! After graduating from the Western Culinary Institute in Portland, Oregon, Chef Knipmeyer returned to Chicago for a stint at the world renowned Charlie Trotter's. After moving to Alaska to be the head chef at Jens’s Restaurant, Brett has now staked his own culinary claim, and named it after his daughter, Kinley.
