His experience at various kitchens around the Bay Area, including Pier 39 and Waterfront Restaurant, and his training under top chef Adrian Hoffman (of One Market fame), has given James a love of fresh, local products. As Head Chef at GAMH since 2010, James has used his classical training and culinary creativity to put his own spin on classic bar food. He has also introduced his own unique creations which quickly became fan favorites such as the gluten-free baked polenta pizza and the Achiote Chicken Sandwich.
