Chef Brenden Biancalana

Chef At Home In Bailey

My name is Brenden and I am a veteran Chef with 8 years experience in the kitchen. I am a Colorado local. I have a passion for traveling, rock climbing, gardening, and of course, cooking memorable meals. I enjoy making cuisines from all around the world, and try to be as traditional in the style as possible!

For me, cooking is...

An expression of who I am, and the experiences I have had in life.

I learned to cook at...

Johnson and Wales Univerity - Denver, Colorado Crush Wine Bar - Castle Rock - Colorado William Chris Winery - Fredericksburg, Texas TravelingAustralia

A cooking secret...

to be patient with the process, and build a strong foundation.
