Christopher Flanagan, Executive Chef
The Dundee Bistro, Dundee, OR
Christopher is a native of Oregon Wine Country; his family still lives in the small wine town of Carlton. His culinary style is inherently wine friendly, light and intuitive.
Flanagan’s lifelong experience of living in one of America’s finest food and wine regions is the foundation of his flavorful, beautiful and unpretentious foods. His over decade long epicurean journey started with a high school senior project featuring culinary arts…a month-long internship at The Dundee Bistro and acquaintance with then Executive Chef Jason-Stoller Smith, who remains Flanagan’s friend, culinary mentor and confidant. That teen-age opportunity changed his life – he fell in love with cooking. He went on to culinary school and kitchen positions in some of Portland’s finer restaurants.
Flanagan’s natural talent and ability to combine flavors and textures rewards his guests with every dish, whether an epicurean creation or simple, satisfying meal.
