José Gutierrez

Chef

Born and trained in France, Master Chef José Gutierrez offers a surprisingly fresh perspective on French cooking. After studying nouvelle cuisine directly under the celebrated Chef Paul Bocuse, Chef Gutierrez arrived in the U.S. Drawn to the flavors of the South, Chef Gutierrez soon found himself in Memphis as Chef de Cuisine at the Peabody Hotel’s Chez Philippe.

Chef Gutierrez’s exploration of nouvelle Southern cuisine ultimately led him to open his own Encore Restaurant & Bar — where he embraces both his French heritage and traditional Southern tastes.
