Brett Allais loves food; it’s in his DNA. Born in South Africa, his grandfather was a professional chef, and he fondly recalls baking with his mother at a young age. As our Director of Culinary Services, Chef Brett brings a wealth of international culinary knowledge and skills to the table. He is French-trained and dabbles in six styles of cuisine, always works from scratch and enjoys infusing flavors and creates “rustic-fusion cuisine.” Chef Brett’s goal is simple: to serve home-cooked dishes that make senior residents feel comfortable and bring back memories but also incorporate surprising new flavors.
