Embassy Suites Portland Downtown Portland Downtown Winter Menu

Chef Graham grew up close to the restaurant business and he started cooking professionally when he was just

fourteen years old for a local Eastern Oregon Hotel. He attended Le Cordon Bleu Academy of Culinary Arts, has

worked from Hawaii to Florida, and traveled to France to work for a Michelin Starred Restaurant (La Chaîne d'Or).

Locally, he has worked in highly esteemed establishments such as Bluehour, The Heathman Hotel and 23 Hoyt.

He received the state wide award for sustainable leadership from the Governor of Oregon, and has been the

driving force for a more sustainable way of doing business.

Chef Graham is passionate about knowing where his food is sourced, from its carbon foot print, that it was ethically

raised and most importantly that it’s the freshest and highest quality that can be found.
