About the Chef
Tim Grable is the Cooking School Director and Chef of the Cooking School at Cavallo Point. A California native, Chef Tim has cooked alongside some of the biggest names in San Francisco restaurants, in addition to teaching and being campus director at one of America’s most prestigious culinary academies
After graduating from the California Culinary Academy, Chef Tim went to work for award-winning chef/baker Fran Gage at her famous bakery Patisserie Francaise. Next, it was on to the iconic Blue Fox Restaurant, followed by a very successful three years at Stars Restaurant with Legendary Chef Jeremiah Tower, who is considered the father of California Cuisine.
Then, Chef Tim moved on to the Kimpton Hotel and Restaurant Group, where he worked at Kuleto’s Restaurant on Union Square and helped to hire and train chefs for the new properties around the country. During his time with Kimpton, Chef Tim also worked to open the Fifth Floor Restaurant with Chef George Morrone before moving on to the Lark Creek Restaurant group with Chef Bradley Ogden at One Market Restaurant.
After years in the kitchen, it was time to move into education, training a new generation of future chefs.
