Dave Reichert

Originally from New York, Dave was “imported” to Ohio in 1992 (via Virginia) so his wife could be closer to her family in Circleville. He and his wife have two daughters and five grandchildren. In their free time, they enjoy camping and NASCAR.

Dave’s culinary career began in New York as Sous Chef at a 4-star French restaurant in Ithaca. In Virginia, he served as Kitchen Manager and worked in the Regional Test Kitchen for The Ground Round Company. Upon moving to Ohio, he started as Sous Chef at the Holiday Inn Holidome in Miamisburg and has been proudly serving the Miami Valley ever since.

His impressive resume includes helping open J. Alexander’s, Tumbleweed, and Krazy City at the Tri-County Mall. He also spent time with Applebee’s and enjoyed a 10-year run at Bullwinkle’s Top Hat Bistro. After a brief stint with Kroger, Dave is thrilled to be back in the hospitality industry where he belongs—doing what he loves most: creating great food and watching guests enjoy life.
