#FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Chef Christopher Gerster, a natural addition to Red Stag Supperclub

Christopher Gerster studied at the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont, then began his career at the notable Restaurant Alma under Alex Roberts, and then at Cafe Levain under Stewart Woodman.

As chefs in the Midwest often do, he ventured east working Connecticuts finest French brasserie-the Union League Cafe for 3 years, then New York Citys upper-east-side fine dining establishment The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges. It was the call of Graze, (which, by the way was from a Craigs List Ad) in Madison Wisconsin that brought him back to Americas Heartland and began to distinguish him as a Farm to Table guy. His love for working with local producers began to grow, and with his newly found fame as a Wisconsin CheeseHead he was the natural candidate for Minneapoliss Finest Supper Club; embracing the philosophy of creating relationships and working closely with Minnesota's farmers then cooking just darn good food that would make his mom proud. A Minnesota native, hes thrilled to be back and a part in the Twin Cities vibrant food scene.
