Brian Bornemann is the owner and head chef of Crudo e Nudo in Santa Monica, From intimate dinners to large-scale collaborations, Brian brings precision, creativity, and heart to every plate — and every project.

From neighborhood kitchens to established hospitality groups, I partner with restaurants worldwide to bring fresh ideas and proven strategies to the table. My cooking and consulting have earned recognition throughout the industry.

I collaborate with restaurants to build culinary programs and guest experiences that reflect their identity while supporting growth and sustainability.

Brian is the man! The true next best thing in California cuisine. From his love of the farmers markets, hyper seasonal produce, and hook to plate local seafood and well sourced meats and poultries we had a great time together during his stint at Michaels. Weve been thrilled to see him expand his repertoire with multiple spots in our own Santa Monica. Keep doin it Brian!
