Mad Bene Chef Bao Tran

"Bao Tran leads Culinary Operations at DB Restaurant Group. Bao’s
first job was as a busboy at The Bonefish Grill in Centreville, VA. Since
then, he’s never worked outside of the four walls of a restaurant. Interested
in turning his passion into a career, Bao attended vocational culinary arts
classes from his junior year of high school. After graduating from the Culinary
Institute of America in Hyde Park, Bao moved to New York City with a single
carry-on luggage in tow to cook at David Chang’s Momofuku Noodle Bar. His
insatiable hunger for knowledge led to his rise among the ranks in the kitchens
of Andrew Carmellini, Daniel Humm, Mario Carbone, and Rich Torrisi. Bao’s
passion for Italian cuisine led him to Italy where he spent four months staging
at Ristorante La Dogana. It was at Santina that he earned 2-stars by the New
York Times as Chef de Cuisine."
