Cycling is fundamental to Chris’ creative process and intertwined with his approach to cooking. Whether he’s looping through Chinatown, brushing past wild fennel on Mount Tamalpais singletrack, or getting lost in the grassy hills above Point Reyes, Chris soaks it all in, registers what's in season, and plugs this knowledge in back in the kitchen, creating mouth-watering dishes that reflect the season and Chris’ vibrant sense of living.
