Koren Grieveson Bio
Chef Koren Grieveson | Chef Anne Burrell Fiancée | Biography | Hollywood Stories
Koren Grieveson was born in Luanda, Angola, on November 4, 1971. Her father worked in the poultry sector, which demanded his family's frequent movement. Grieveson and her sisters grew up in numerous countries and she spent parts of her childhood and young adulthood in Brazil, England, and Iran. In the end, the family settled in Glastonbury, Connecticut.
Her mother, like many other famous chefs, was her first inspiration and teacher. Grieveson learned to cook from her mother and claims that her mother was a fantastic cook. In her cooking, Grieveson likes to play with flavors and influences from all over the world through her global perspective on food. In an interview with Food & Wine, Grieveson shared, "I do remember the food in all of these places, and that probably plays a role in my culinary perspective. My mother was an excellent cook, but we ate a lot of damn chicken."
She joined the US Army when she was 17 years old, spurred by her rebellious character, and spent the next eight years in the service. She enrolled in the Culinary Institute of America in New York after being discharged from the military.

She worked at Aqua in San Francisco under Chef Michael Mina, at Spruce under Chef Keith Luce, and at Crofton on Wells with Chef Suzy Crofton after graduating from the Culinary Institute of America in 1996.
Koren Grieveson acquired her signature style and precise palate while working as a sous chef at Blackbird restaurant with her executive chef Paul Kahan, from 1998 to 2003. While working as a chef at Blackbird, she was part of a team that launched the restaurant on the international stage, garnering significant awards for its amazing cuisine.
She won a James Beard Award for Best Chef: Great Lakes during her time at Avec. She was named the Best New Chef by Food & Wine magazine in 2008. She returned to New York in 2012 and spent her first days there residing in the home of Prune chef Gabrielle Hamilton. She became the executive chef at Resto, a Belgian restaurant, in 2015. Prior to Grieveson, the kitchen has been led by notable chefs such as Ryan Skeen, Bobby Helen, and Preston Clarke. She chose to make small alterations after taking over while maintaining the restaurant's general essence. Resto had earned a reputation as a meat-centric eatery, and Grieveson had no desire to modify this, but she did want her clients to be able to eat there two or three times a week without feeling stuffed. She created her own harissa, which went perfectly with the mussels they were cooking. She also used spices and veggies to enhance the flavor of various recipes without overpowering them.
In April 2016, Grieveson left Resto. The restaurant closed a few months later, in August. It was renamed Cannibal Liquor House in October.
