Chef Chris Remrey
A native of Clinton, Iowa, Chef Chris credits his lifelong love of cooking to his late grandmother, Joyce. Her kitchen was the heart of his childhood — a place filled with warmth, curiosity, and the kind of food that brings people together. That early influence shaped the way Chris cooks today: with intention, generosity, and a deep respect for tradition.
Chris began his professional journey in the dish room at Porky’s in the Lyons district. Over the years, he built a career defined by reliability, craftsmanship, and genuine hospitality. For more than 18 years, he served the Clinton Hy‑Vee community as an assistant kitchen manager, catering manager, and retail chef, becoming a trusted name throughout Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois.
His culinary style blends solid technique with a passion for refining familiar flavors. Chris enjoys exploring new methods and elevating classic dishes to create menus that feel both comforting and memorable.
Chef Brittany Remrey
Chef Brittany’s love for food began in childhood, growing up in the kitchen with her grandparents, her aunt, and her dad. They encouraged her to dream, experiment, and try new techniques — a foundation that shaped her into a chef who values creativity, precision, and the joy of sharing beautiful food.
Originally from Bettendorf, Iowa, Brittany spent many years at the Clinton Hy‑Vee as a kitchen manager and food service supervisor, developing a strong operational foundation and a sharp eye for presentation.
She is now a certified pastry chef with a degree in baking and pastry arts from the Auguste Escoffier School of Pastry Arts. Brittany specializes in custom desserts and artistic charcuterie displays that serve as edible centerpieces.
