BRANDON MCGLAMERY

CHEF // PARTNER

After graduating from the California Culinary Academy, Brandon passionately pursued his culinary career, seeking exposure to both domestic and international techniques and experiences. He attributes much of his inspiration and success to time spent at notable Northern California dining destinations, including Delfina in San Francisco, The French Laundry in Napa Valley, and Chez Panisse in Berkeley. It was in these establishments that he first discovered his love for wood fired foods in the Italian tradition.

Before joining the team at Luma on Park, Brandon served as Chef de Cuisine at Bacchanalia in Atlanta, GA, where he worked with his mentor, James Beard Award winner, Anne Quatrano. Since Brandon was named Executive Chef at Luma on Park in 2006, the restaurant received much critical acclaim including Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence, Florida Trend Magazine’s Golden Spoon Award and the AAA Four-Diamond Award. In 2011, Brandon enchanted guests with Italian inspired plates crafted from market-fresh ingredients prepared in Acunto oak-burning ovens with the opening of Prato. With the opening of his third concept, Luke’s Kitchen and Bar, Brandon will bring his culinary experiences to the table, with a menu inspired by the culinary traditions from coast to coast.
