Meet the King of Golden Fried Chicken, Chef Brian, a former Top Chef contestant, launched his first restaurant in Washington, D.C. and since then, his culinary expertise has taken him from the East Coast to the Southwest, where he has been featured on shows like Bar Rescue and Private Chefs of Beverly Hills.

​

Chef Brian's latest venture, Chef Brian's Comfort Kitchen, in Tucson, AZ, offers artisan takes on classic comfort foods, including hand-picked favorites such as fried chicken, seafood, and vegan dishes.

​

For Chef Brian, the story behind the food is just as important as the flavor. Growing up in poor neighborhoods in Washington, D.C., he fell in love with cooking shows and making meals for his family. This inspired him to pursue a career in the culinary arts, initially working at Domino's before becoming a personal chef for renowned figures like Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, and Eddie Murphy.
