Chef Bradley Rouse, Atlanta Hawks Team Chef: Inside The Chef’s Kitchen #17

bradley-rouse-itck Here on Inside The Chef’s Kitchen, we like to branch out a bit and look for people outside the Atlanta restaurant community.  For this weeks visit, we have Bradley Rouse, whose serves as the executive chef for the Atlanta Hawks.  In his spare time, he also heads up a little venture by the name of All Star Chefs (website), a chef service for athletes.

After graduating from the Art Institute of Atlanta, Rouse went to work for Carbo’s Café, a now defunct French-American restaurant that was quite popular around these parts.  Rouse eventually landed at Prime Restaurant as their sushi chef before leaving the Capital of the South for a job a Wolfgang Puck’s Grand Café in Fort Lauderdale.

But alas, the call home was too much to ignore, and Rouse returned home, where he is responsible for feeding employees of the Highlight Factory, our beloved Atlanta Hawks.  That’s no sluff position, especially since one of the Hawks is now a restaurateur himself.

So it’s with great pleasure that we’re treated to pictures of Rouse along with a little bit of his time.  Hope y’all enjoy … and welcome to ITCK!

In preparation for that drive, the Unabomber’s Girlfriend and I spent some time perusing the internet looking for one of those hidden eateries of lore and legend.  As we were in seafood central, the cuisine was seemingly selected for us.  After scanning several internet sites, we were led to believe that we had found one such gem.  Yes, Capt. Shrimp came with high marks from casual dinners over a bevy of websites.  Unfortunately, what it delivered was a glorified alternative to Captain D’s.
