Vice returned to Denver in 1998, as McCormick's
executive chef, after serving two years in the same capacity
at Jake's Famous Crawfish, McCormick & Schmick's flagship
restaurant in Portland, Oregon. During his time at Jake's,
Vice was responsible for training the other chefs who would
later run their own kitchens at McCormick & Schmick's
locations throughout the U.S.
A former member of the Chef de Cuisine Society of
Oregon and Colorado, Vice raised the sophistication of the
banquet and catering program for McCormick's Catering in
Denver, and his creative flair is evident in the dining room's
daily menu.
With a degree in music and a desire to perfect his
own trumpet skills, Vice's favorite assignments include
providing catered meals to Oregon Jazz Festival performers Doc
Severinson, Anita Baker and the Pointer Sisters. He led the
McCormick's catering team at Portland's Performing Arts Center
Civic Auditorium and provided his expertise at a seated dinner
for 8,000 at the International Association of Police Chiefs
convention in Portland.
Vice lives with his wife, three sons and a
daughter in Aurora, Colorado. |
