The Chef Sessions // Season 2 // Simon Davies // Alinea // Chicago, IL

Simon Davies has had a fondness for the kitchen from a very young age, growing up in California. His first job, at a local diner, was just to make some spending money as a high schooler. His desire to cook professionally stemmed from late nights cooking for friends at parties and the fun and sense of community that it brought. After attending culinary school and working at several restaurants in the Portland, Oregon area Simon took an internship at Alinea in 2009 and has grown with the company ever since. In his spare time, he enjoys his other passions of painting and music. For more information, visit https://alinearestaurant.com/.
