New chef, new menu, new season – B & O American Brasserie

First things first, welcome to Chef Thomas Dunklin to Baltimore and to the top toque position at B & O American Brasserie. Originally from NOLA, this chef has worked there, New Mexico and the Pacific Northwest, many of the positions through the Kimpton Hotels. Dunklin has worked with many renowned chefs like Emeril Lagasse and Jan Birnbaum.

I had a chance to talk with him the other night in-between courses at a media dinner introducing his new seasonal menu. We talked about Seattle chefs, being organic and the mark of a chef who has worked on the line – burn marks on your arms. He laughed and said, “all the ink (tattoos) on his arms covers it well.”

Check out the new menu items, watch the slide show:
