Born and raised amid the vibrant culinary heritage of South Louisiana, Tyler Braun’s passion for food took root long before he fully understood it. At just fifteen, he stepped into his first restaurant kitchen as a dishwasher—and immediately felt at home. The controlled chaos of dinner service, moving with the rhythm of a well-choreographed ballet, captivated him and set the course for his future.

Throughout his teenage years, Tyler steadily climbed the ranks in a variety of kitchens, each new role sharpening his skills and deepening his dedication to the craft. His relentless drive and appetite for mastery led him to earn the title of Executive Sous Chef by the age of twenty-one—an achievement that was both demanding and electrifying. With each challenge, his perseverance only strengthened.

Tyler’s pursuit of culinary excellence then carried him across the Atlantic to Copenhagen, Denmark. There, he refined his techniques through multiple internships and ultimately secured a position at the renowned Michelin-starred Restaurant Alouette. Immersed in a new culture and surrounded by world-class talent, he expanded his perspective and honed his creative voice.

Now back in the United States, Tyler brings home a breadth of international experience and an enduring commitment to his craft. With a foundation built on passion, discipline, and global exposure, he continues to evolve as a chef—driven to share his culinary vision and create memorable experiences through food.
