Mercenary Chef

Hello and good day to you,

My name is Christian Bringer, I am a Professional Mercenary Freelance Chef with over 35 years of experience in the industry. Being reared into my grandmother's catering business I learned to earn and developed a sense of urgency at a very young age - single-digit. I moved through the ranks in Tampa Bay, FL. where I first charged my own kitchens and eventually opened three independent eateries as creator/partner before I was thirty-one. With each of these establishments we were very involved with city and local events, as well as having my own instructional culinary classes on local cable(pre-internet) accumulating outstanding acknowledgments, fund raisers, silent auctions, competitions and numerous right-ups including USA Today etc. Inevitably I wanted more and wanted to compete in bigger cities but fate had other plans for me with joining the circus, Cirque du Soleil as touring chef and where my whole world completely revamped. After a year and a half with Cirque, I began to work abroad and soon found Alaska as well, which completely recalibrated my perspective again, not only in the culinary world but also how I wanted to live and experience life. Being blessed with a bounty of incredible opportunities that Alaska has to offer for chefs, I have been up there now for the last twenty-three seasons including ten winters making me a resident of the state. I have been in profound work settings being off-grid and very remote in which self-sufficient and sustainability is the way of life. Being keen and adept with forecasting, provisioning, troubleshooting and doing what needs to be done today for tomorrow is the only way. And being mechanically inclined is also a strong asset in which I am, from repairing my own commercial kitchen appliances, plumbing, electrical gardening and basic construction. I have been all over the Kenai Peninsula, Prince William Sound, the Aleutian Islands and the Bering Sea, Denali, Juneau, Sitka, Kodiak, Kat Mai and all down the west coast from Seward to Panama, employed as a Chef. Also most all of the Caribbean Islands(yachs), all the Hawaiian Islands(some yachts) South America, Central America, Mexico, French Polynesia(yachts) and of course most all of the United States, as a Freelance Chef. Food is the first medicine and I love to share my craft and talents to people in off-the-beaten-path situations and blow their minds as well as give them healthy holistic and nutritious works of art. Below you will find my CV, if you are interested please reach out and I will be pleased to forward you my professional references, menus, portfolio and any other information that you may require.

Thank you kindly for your time and consideration!

Warm regards,
