Chris Zhu
executive-chef, recipe-development
I used to be known as was Doctor Zhu, but after 7 years in surgery, I left the emergency room to pursue my passion in the kitchen. I attended Cordon Bleu in Shanghai and is now executive chef at newly-opened wine bar + kitchen Bird and cafe + cocktail space Bitter. My mission is to marry classic technique with local Chinese flavors for food that evokes curiosity or nostalgia in my diners.
