About Brian Baxter:
Florida native Brian Baxter is the executive chef of the Catbird Seat in Nashville, Tennessee. Chef Brian Baxter’s fifth iteration of the award-winning restaurant is a celebration of ingredients with an emphasis on sustainability and those sourced at the peak of the season. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, Baxter headed south to Charleston, South Carolina to work with chef Sean Brock as chef de partie at McCrady’s. After two years, he moved to Nashville to be part of the opening team at Husk Nashville. During his time at Husk, Baxter was honored as one of Forbes 30 under 30 in 2016 and named as one of 5 Southern Chefs to Watch by OpenTable in the same year. In 2017, Baxter joined the culinary team at Bastion, a Nashville staple helmed by chef Josh Habiger. Cooking at Bastion allowed Baxter to expand his culinary repertoire beyond southern cuisine, exploring new techniques and ingredients.
In June of 2019, Baxter left Nashville for Atlanta to work with chef Kevin Gillespie on the opening team at Cold Beer as chef de Cuisine. One year later, Baxter returned to Nashville and the Strategic Hospitality family, bringing his vast culinary experience and integrity for the craft into the U-shaped kitchen at the Catbird Seat.
