Pete Crockett, chef of Isa\u2019s French Bistro, was born in New Hampshire, but attended culinary school in Charleston, SC. He accepted his first position as executive chef for Charleston\u2019s popular bourbon steakhouse CURE. \u201cCURE was named top steakhouse in Charleston by Thrillist<\/em> magazine,\u201d Pete says.<\/p>\n

He and his wife Margaret moved to Asheville to raise their daughters in the mountains. Pete fell in love with Isa\u2019s French Bistro\u2019s vision and the freedom he had to develop an \u201capproachable French\u201d menu, a Southern take on traditional French cuisine. An artist at heart, Pete enjoys using unique ingredients and new approaches to create truly memorable dishes for his guests. \u201cI strive to lead with a \u2018no rules\u2019 approach, encouraging my team members to be artists themselves,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Isa\u2019s French Bistro is located at 1 Battery Park Avenue in downtown Asheville. Learn more at IsasBistro.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
