Chef Brooke Smith is the executive chef at the Esquire Tavern, and has climbed the ranks of the culinary scene in San Antonio in an organic and grass-roots style. Her mentor, Executive Chef Mark Bliss, is legendary in the city, and Chef Brooke began her career under his close guidance early on. Educated at the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont, she launched her professional career at Silo and La Frite in San Antonio, Enoteca Vespaio in Austin, and the Red Star Tavern in Portland, Oregon. Brooke takes great pride in the fact that she designed the current menu at the Esquire Tavern, as well she should; her free spirit, Texas roots, and culinary training are apparent in each and every dish. Chef Smith is the defending champion of the Sprouts Culinary Showdown.
