A Midwesterner through and through, chef Brian Green was born and raised in St. Louis. After earning a degree in culinary arts, Green began working under his mentor, chef Cary McDowell, at Wolfgang Puck in St. Louis. With dreams of working in a renowned New York kitchen, he spent a year at chef Kevin Nashan’s Sidney Street Cafe to hone his fine-dining skills before heading north. He then moved to New York to work at Cafe Boulud as chef de partie and later as the savory pastry chef at Dominique Ansel. After a cross-country move to Napa, California, to open the kitchen at B Cellars Vineyard and Cellars, St. Louis called Green back home. Returning to work under Nashan, Green served as sous chef at Peacemaker Lobster & Crab for the past two years. He moved to Oklahoma to work alongside Nashan to bring the coastal-Acadian cuisine of Peacemaker to Tulsa.

He has also worked as executive chef at SoChey Jazz Café, Main Street Tavern in Broken Arrow and R Bar & Grill in Brookside. Tack started his career in Tulsa at the Chalkboard, where he worked under the late Paul Caplinger. He also had stints at Stonehorse Café and Dalesandro’s. His cooking can best be described as having a focus on seasonality, sustainability and blending regional and international fare with classic technique. Afredo Zuniga Gathering Place, Chef de Cuisine Gathering Place Chef de Cuisine Alfredo Zuniga leads the culinary team as Chef de Cuisine for Vista at Gathering Place, the park’s elevated casual restaurant in ONEOK Boathouse.
