Executive Chef Wes Pumphrey

Meet our new Executive Chef, Wes Pumphrey. Wes has been bringing some exciting and delicious menu updates to The Lab.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Wes lived in San Francisco and worked at La Folie perfecting classic French technique, eventually helping open the Monk’s Kettle, a gastropub in the Mission District. Back in Los Angeles, he worked at Craft in Century City, opened the Montage hotel in Beverly Hills, and worked for Jose Andres at the Bazaar. He focuses on American with an emphasis on Southern cuisine while reinventing classics…elevated comfort food. We’re happy to have him at The Lab and we know you’ll love his food.
