In 1984, he left to work under Marc Chevillot at the Hotel de la Poste in Beaune, France. In 1985 he accepted a kitchen position at the acclaimed "The Quilted Giraffe" in New York City and worked his way up to a management chef position. After leaving the Quilted Giraffe, Kinch spent five months at Mount Eden Vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California helping Jeffrey Patterson produce the 1988 Chardonnay vintage. Kinch then made his way to the Hotel Clio Court restaurant in Fukuoka, Japan, returning to Northern California to work in the kitchens of San Francisco’s Silks and Ernie’s restaurants. Kinch spent two more years in Europe, at Schweizer Stuben in Germany, with Marc Meneau at the three-star restaurant L'Esperance in St. Pere-sous-Vézeley, Burgundy, and at Pedro Subijana’s Akelarre in Spain. Kinch opened his first restaurant, the bistro-style Sent Sovi, with Aimee Hébert in Saratoga, California in 1995. Kinch and Hébert operated the restaurant for seven years. Kinch founded Manresa in Los Gatos in 2002, a rough time for a high-priced restaurant because of Silicon Valley’s dotcom implosion. It received little notice at the time, though the local press called it “a culinary dream venue... for those who take food seriously.” He purchased the former Village House restaurant location, writing that he was encouraged by chef Thomas Keller to buy a building while retrieving a forgotten wine bag at the French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley, where Kinch had dined the night before. A 2005 write-up in the London Observer, in which food critic Jay Rayner called his 26-course meal at Manresa his most memorable of 2004, started the international acclaim that transformed Kinch into one of the most celebrated chefs of his generation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Kinch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
