Chef Brian Hirsty

Question: How long have you been a chef?
Answer:  I’ve been a chef at some level for more than 25 years. 

Question: How long have you been at this restaurant?
Answer:  I’ve been the Bluewater Grill executive chef since the first restaurant opened in Newport’s Cannery Village in 1996. During this time, I’ve opened new locations in Redondo Beach, Tustin and Phoenix, and created hundreds of fresh seafood dishes and house specialties. I’m also proud of the fact that I’ve converted tens of thousands of first-time customers into diehard Bluewater Grill loyalists.

Question: Who or what inspired you to become a chef?
Answer:   As a young boy growing up along the Southern California coast, I used to wake up before dawn to hang out with the local fishermen as they brought in the day’s catch.  By the age of nine, I was cooking these same fish using recipes I got from the Joy of Cooking cookbook  And by ten, I was proclaimed a chef – if only by my brother.

Question: What do you enjoy most about your profession?
Answer:  Creating dishes and mastering regional specialties to thrill our customers.

Question: When you’re not in the kitchen what are you doing?
Answer:  Camping and fishing with my family.
