Chef Dakota Bateman
Chef At Home In Nashville
Get to know me better
I’m a passionate modern chef. I focus using local ingredients and pairing them with techniques from around the world.
I’m a professional chef with 8 years in the industry. I’ve spent the majority of my time learning from James Beard Award winners whilst learning and developing my own unique style and flavor profiles. The kitchen is not a job for me. There is no clocking in or out. It’s a never ending learning and fine tuning process. It’s 24/7 for me.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
My release. It’s my way to attribute something meaningful to the world. It’s simply the only way I can meaningfully express myself.
I learned to cook at...
I spent a year at the Culinary Institute of America at an early age. I fortunately had the opportunity to move to LA and learn under Michelin Chefs.
A cooking secret...
Is balancing flavors through acidity from mediums other than just lemon juice. Flavored vinegars, miso, etc.
