Christian Goerner
Executive Chef
Goerner shares his culinary sensibilities and commitment to using sustainable products, and preparing products with the utmost simplicity in order to showcase the finest seasonal ingredients at their purest.
A self-described “country boy trapped in the city,” Goerner grew up in San Antonio, TX, but left home after high school to attend culinary school in New York City. After working under Anita Lo at Anisa in New York, Goerner traveled through Europe, exploring a variety of regional cuisines and learning about different cooking techniques. Upon returning to the U.S., Goerner was introduced to Chef David Pasternack, and the two instantly formed a bond over their mutual love of the outdoors. Goerner went on to work beside Pasternack at his restaurant, Esca, and at Eataly’s Il Pesce.
