About Chef Brian Moran:
Brian Moran brings a wealth of experience working at a wide range of restaurants in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Texas and the Bay Area to his role as executive chef de cuisine of Joe DiMaggio's Italian Chophouse.
Moran, 31, credits his mother with instilling a love of cooking and of hearty family meals while growing up in Northern California. He started working in restaurants during high school and completed the culinary arts program at Diablo Valley College before moving to Las Vegas in 2000 to enroll in U.N.L.V.'S Culinary Program for one year.
Moran honed his skills cooking a variety of cuisines among them Rustic Italian, Asian, American barbecue and innovative seafood preparations. He spent two years with the China Grill Corporation in The Mandalay Bay Hotel, studying alongside executive chef Michael Schmidt before leaving to join forces with Jeff and Rick Dudum who were launching Dudum Sports and Entertainment Corporation throughout the U.S. The Dudums' vision of creating restaurants which celebrate the lives of famous people including Bing Crosby, Joe DiMaggio and Willie McCovey was the stepping stone that Moran needed to accelerate his career.
Moran's goal at Joe DiMaggio's is to continue its concept of "fine dining" offering "simple, rustic yet refined food" using the freshest ingredients, simply presented and perfectly cooked. "I love the food here and don't want to turn it upside down," says Moran but plans to change and rotate menu seasonally.
