That’s the resumé of an iconoclast. A chef who has immersed himself in the conventional, the unconventional, and everything in between. An artist who learned from the masters and used that knowledge to forge his own identity, one that’s unlike any other working chef on the planet.

In his own words:

I wasn’t very good at school, but cooking became second nature to me.

I have a few culinary figures who have inspired me, had the privilege to work with Tomas Keller at the world-renowned, Michelin-starred French Laundry in Napa Valley – Simply one of the wow moments of my life.

Masaharu Morimoto, Michelin-starred Iron Chef, is just a culinary bad ass.I’ve met him a few times; cooked for him in Tokyo when I lived there and have done numerous events with him. Still to this day, I love what he does.

I love to travel. Tokyo; no matter what you eat, the amount of respect that people have for the ingredients, the process, the whole idea of food is so great and you can taste it in the food.

Japan made me a better chef. Hong Kong has to be one of the most buzzing places I’ve ever been.

New York has so many different places to go, from hole in the walls to noodle shops and sushi to great hot dogs. And of course, Catch NYC - Dubai, I am just so very proud of what we are doing.

Now working his magic on the banks of the Big Hole River, Chef Bobby has elevated the culinary experience at Complete Fly Fisher to new heights. He’s transformed the River Room table into a platform for feasts beyond imagination. We’re thrilled to share his work with our beloved extended family, the guests at CFF.
