Chef Richard Lee
By Epicurate Chefs

The youngest son of Chinese immigrant parents — a seamstress mother and a security guard father, both of whom speak only Cantonese — he transcended humble beginnings and a self-professed middling academic record to reach a milestone as one of the best chefs in the country. Following a five-year stint on the East Coast as sous chef at Michelin three-starred Eleven Madison Park in New York City, Lee came back to San Francisco in 2019 as chef de cuisine of Michelin two-starred Saison. Late last year, he was elevated to executive chef of that fine-dining, pioneering live-fire restaurant, marking his first time in that top role at any establishment. Saison is recognized as the original fine dining establishment in the U.S. to use open hearth cooking. Saison is an open wood fire restaurant emphasizing the bounty of California’s evolving terroir, where Executive Chef Richard Lee crafts nuanced flavors with intention informed by his Chinese heritage and passion for the Bay Area.
