The Chef

Josh Bieker started working in restaurants in 1993.  As an aspiring cook, he was voracious to learn more about food, flavors, and the exacting nature of the kitchen.  In 1995 Josh had two clear career paths in mind.  He was going to be an actor or a chef.  Since Hollywood wasn't calling he decided to stay in the kitchens.  Around that same time he acquired a cookbook by Charlie Trotter which changed his life forever.  At that moment Josh knew he wanted to do more than simply feed people; he wanted to inspire and excite people with his culinary creations.  Over the years Josh cooked at multiple restaurants to obtain the skills needed to eventually become the chef he long aspired to be.  However, to be even better at his craft, Josh knew he needed to refine his pallet even more.  In order to do this he would have to travel and experience international flavors and cultures first hand.  

In 2007 Josh and his wife Jade started making the journey of eating at some of the greatest restaurants in the world.  Their first international experience would take place in Bray, England, at Heston Blumenthal's restaurant, The Fat Duck.  Since then, they have eaten at Pierre Gagnaire in Paris, Nakamura in Tokyo and The French Laundry in California, just to name a few.  

Although still athirst to learn more, Josh was now ready to start his own dinner series, The Gallery by Josh Bieker.  

And that is where the story begins...

The Story

The Gallery by Josh Bieker is a dinner series motivated by seasonal ingredients, travel, and a little bit of whimsy.  

Working closely with local farmers and vendors, The Gallery is able to get the freshest products available for its ever-changing menu.  Each event is a communal culinary environment where guests have the opportunity to be apart of a dining experience unlike any other in Sacramento.  

Although The Gallery's primary motivation is to compose a unique and exciting fare, it is also crucial that each guest leave with the feeling that they were a part of something truly special.  

The Gallery by Josh Bieker also caters private events of 12-14 people and will soon be hosting cooking classes.  Please check our calendar for upcoming events and availability.
