10 ?’s with Fifth Street Brewpubs Chef Brandon Travis

October 27, 2016 By Lisa Grigsby

brandonChef Brandon Travis  has  over 2700 owner/bosses, at the Fifth Street Brewpub.   more than 11 years of food service experience. During that time, he worked in nearly every kitchen station and position, which allowed him to learn how to effectively run a kitchen to provide the highest quality of fare to customers. Chef Brandon specializes in obtaining the highest quality products available and focuses on responsible and sustainable sourcing. He strives to use locally grown and produced products in everything he creates. Chef Brandon attended Sinclair Community College’s culinary arts and hospitality management program. He’s worked at Fifth Street Brewpub since they first introduced their kitchen.

Just last week Chef Brandon introduced a new menu for the brewpub, which includes discounted prices for members and a Monday – Friday, 4 – 6 PM happy hour for all that offers $1 off drafts, and wine as well as all sharing plates, like the smoked salmon dip,  Co-op Cheese curds, and the ever popular Henry Chips not have an option to add chicken, pork or braised beef.   The entree menu includes a turkey avocado club, the best selling build your own burger, a vegan spinach wrap and 4 salads to choose from. Brunch is served Saturday and Sunday from 10am -2pm with breakfast classics like french toast, steak and eggs and some specialty items like chicken and waffles and the over the top banana foster waffle.  See the full menu here.

Chef Brandon took time out from the kitchen to answer our Chef’s 10 ?’s so we could get to know him a little better.  We learned he’s a man of few words, preferring to let his food do the talking.
