Own Talents
Chef Ken Brown grew up with a love of
seafood. As a young boy he developed a love
of fishing in freshwater and saltwater and also
enjoyed crabbing with his family.
He discovered his niche for cooking as
a teenager in a local family-owned Italian
restaurant in upstate New York. While
working as a prep cook there, Ken decided to
pursue culinary arts as a career.
He began his culinary career by attending
the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde
Park, N.Y., and interning at the Four Seasons
Hotel in London. After his internship, he
began work at the Kingsmill Country Club.
Chef Ken has also worked at Kiln Creek,
Deer Run Golf Course, Austin Creek
Grill, Hatteras, N.C., and the Chesapeake
Convention Center. As a chef he has
combined his love of fishing and cooking to
perfect the art of preparing and presenting
seafood.
Victor Minichiello’s experience in preparing
fresh foods and his focus on customer
satisfaction will be par for the course at Fat
Tuna. Victor also owns the Italian restaurant,
Sal’s by Victor, and co-owns Rocco’s
Smokehouse Grill with Rocco Colafrancesco.
