  • Paley's Places Patrick Mckee Is the Executive Chef at Vitaly Paley's
    PATRICK MCKEE BIO Executive Chef – Paley’s Places Patrick McKee is the Executive Chef at Vitaly Paley’s landmark restaurant, Paley’s Place. He joined the Paley’s family in October of 2004 as a line cook and has spent the last eight years learning, growing and exploring Pacific Northwest cuisine with Vitaly Paley. “Working at Paley’s Place has hands down been the best job I have ever had. I’ve been challenged since I stepped foot into the kitchen,” McKee says. Before joining Paley’s Place in 2004, McKee began his culinary career in Portland as a dishwasher at Santé in 1994. He then moved to Jazz de Opus where he worked as a line cook and began to develop his culinary skills. After Jazz de Opus, he began working at Zefiro under Chris Israel. “Chris gave me some of the best professional advice I have ever received. He told me seek out the best chef in the area and work at that restaurant. It was that advice that led me to Paley’s Place,” said McKee. From Zefiro, McKee had a couple of stints at Mint and then Castagna. He then moved to Eugene for a change of pace and worked at Marché where he continued working with local, Pacific Northwest ingredients. From Marché, McKee took his first role as executive chef at Eugene’s Red Agave. When he decided to move back to Portland, Chef Vitaly Paley was the first person he called to inquire about a job. McKee’s love of food began early in his life and he credits his mom for his love of cooking.

  • Take a Culinary Journey Unlike No Other. Watch a Star Rise
    ~Take a culinary journey unlike no other. Watch a star rise~ Let your taste buds be tantalized Meet Chef Brother Luck and his brand Four by Brother Luck & Lucky Dumpling With a name like Brother Luck it would be easy to attribute your success to good fortune, but Brother's is a result of hard work, determination, and passion. As a teenager, Brother fell on hard times when his father passed away at the age of 10. After relocating from the San Francisco Bay Area to Arizona, Brother enrolled in a vocational school for high school students to learn the culinary arts. The free food was intriguing enough to keep attending the cooking classes and eventually led him to find a passion in the kitchen that would set him up on an incredible journey inspired by a love for food and service. "I spent my whole senior year training," Brother admits. "I'd come to school in the morning and train. Then in the afternoon, I went to the Art Institute of Phoenix to train with a master chef. Then I'd work the line at the Hyatt all evening." Brother eventually was awarded with enough scholarships to attend the Art Institute of Phoenix, including one from the college, which named him “Best Teen Chef." His time in college would lead to a diverse career cooking in places around the world including in Japan; Hong Kong; Chicago; New York City and finally in Colorado Springs where he would start Brother Luck Street Eats. There he was honored as “Best Local Chef” by Colorado Springs Independent and “Most Cutting Edge Restaurant” by The Gazette Newspaper.

  • VITALY PALEY BIO Chef/Owner - Headwaters, Imperial , the Crown & Paley’S Place
    VITALY PALEY BIO Chef/Owner - Headwaters, Imperial , The Crown & Paley’s Place Critically-acclaimed chef, accomplished restaurateur, and noted cookbook author, Vitaly Paley has cemented himself as both a leader and a trailblazer in the American culinary scene. Through his award-winning food, creativity, and deep-rooted passion, it’s no wonder he is referred to as “The Dean of Chefs,” by the Portland, Ore. food community. With more than 25 years experience, a 2005 James Beard Award for “Best Chef Pacific Northwest,” and an April 2011 winning battle on Food Network’s “Iron Chef America” under his belt, the Russian-born and French-trained chef explores the historical significance of food and his heritage through diligent research. Vitaly believes cooking is as much about soul-searching and mood as it is about rigorous technique and constant repetition, “we’re always out there, putting our heart and soul on the plate,” said Vitaly on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Think Out Loud. Vitaly has been instrumental in defining regional Northwest cuisine and is well-known for his clean preparations of local, sustainably-grown ingredients to produce seasonal, perfectly-executed dishes. In October 2016, Vitaly, along with his wife/partner, Kimberly Paley, opened Headwaters inside the historic Heathman Hotel. He is the third James Beard winning chef to take the helm of the property. The menu is the collaborative effort of Vitaly Paley and Executive Chef Tim Eckard, showcasing local ingredients from Oregon’s diverse bounty. Vitaly pays homage to the rich history of the location by reviving the iconic tea court, adding a Russian flare that speaks to his own heritage.
