Born and raised in northern NJ, Bruce Kalman is a James Beard­-nominated chef whose work and training started close to home and took him to kitchens, entrepreneurial enterprises, and communities all over the US, including Chicago, New York, Santa Fe, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. He's also appeared on Bravo's Top Chef, Food Network's Chopped and Beat Bobby Flay, and others.

Now, he's in Las Vegas, and we're all excited about the possibilities he brings to the Vegas dining scene. Chef Bruce has an affinity for the farm-fresh, hand-crafted cuisines, and has a wide breadth of experience with Italian and Mediterranean flavors. He's also the chef-founder of BK Brinery, an artisan pickle company.

On his off time, Chef Bruce works with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters on Backbeat BBQ, and he is the front-man of a cover band called Foie Grock with Chef Duff Goldman. Talk about soul, man, and what a soul man!

BBQ, the mere mention of foie, AND music? Hmmm... now we're hungry for some soul as well.
