Brian Bates


Culinary Resource Coordinator at Central Market Mill Creek

Brian has a wealth of culinary experiences - he comes from a family of cooks (he and his two brothers are all professional chefs).
He grew up in Lakewood, and began his cooking career as a prep cook and dishwasher, learning the foundations of cooking and how to run a kitchen brigade.
He spent several years working different stations as well as apprenticing under head chefs - adding Embassy Suites Corp., Everett Pacific Hotel and Sahalee Country Club to his resume. He took over his first kitchen at the Tulalip Inn Hotel and Suites.
He considers being culinary coordinator at Central Market Mill Creek "an awesome opportunity to experiment with the best ingredients."
His favorite kind of cooking is New Orleans-style Southern cooking.
