i. Biography
Precision in large-scale luxury dining depends on maintaining technical rigor across high-heat butchery and multi-unit kitchen stations without sacrificing raw product discipline. Executive Chef Partner Bob Broskey directs this operational balance in Chicago, managing culinary systems that bridge rigorous steakhouse programs and high-volume dining rooms.
Coming Up
Originating from Pittsburgh, Broskey entered the professional kitchen focusing on structured line execution and foundational service discipline before establishing his culinary presence in Chicago. His work centered on building tightly run kitchen galleys capable of executing both precise seafood preparations, such as balanced ceviche, and comprehensive butchery. In demanding kitchen environments—including running the galley at Gus'—Broskey reinforced systematic station control, disciplined prep routines, and clean plating structures that allow complex dinner services to operate under strict technical benchmarks. His technical focus expanded directly into specialized protein fabrication, where consistent heat management, whole-muscle aging, and global sourcing define the line. Operating at the executive tier, his craft emphasizes the strict stewardship of prime cuts—navigating the variable fat ratios of Dry-Aged Ribeye and the high marbling thresholds of Japanese A5 Wagyu—while maintaining service standards that translate from open hearths to tableside carving services.
Where They Are Now
Broskey serves as Executive Chef Partner of RPM Restaurants within Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants.
