MEET THE CULINARY PRO

CHRIS HUNSICKER

Owner /Executive Chef

At just 33, Chef Chris Hunsicker brings 17 years of culinary experience shaped by a career that spans Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Italy. A graduate of Johnson & Wales University in Denver, he trained at acclaimed restaurants including Fruition and Jax Fish House before spending a year in Florence working at a farm-to-table domaine and studying Italian and European cooking techniques. After returning to Colorado, he became one of Keystone’s youngest executive chefs and later opened Breckfast in Breckenridge, which he has owned for seven years. Inspired by mentor Chef Yvan Heraud, Chef Chris co-founded La Française Bistrot four years ago, where he brings refined French cuisine to the Rockies using fresh, simple, locally inspired ingredients.
