Meet our Kitchen Manager- Sarah.

Have you spotted a little blonde lady in and out of the kitchen? That’s Sarah- our kitchen manager.

JT was looking for someone with the training and love for food that would help keep his recipes consistent and our quality Five Star (!) We found that in Sarah.

Sarah grew up in Milwaukie, Oregon and spent her childhood helping at a restaurant run by her Grandpa called “The Bomber”. He actually flew the B17 Bomber plane that is on the property and since Sarah was born on the property she’s called a “bomber baby”! As a child she helped in the kitchen- making grilled cheese sandwiches, slicing her first onion and eating as much ice cream as she wanted. This was a natural place for her love of food to begin.

From 2006-2007 she attended Le Cordon Bleu in Portland, Oregon. She now lives in Utah with her husband and their new black lab puppy- Diesel.

All these things make Sarah a great fit for the Five Star kitchen where food and family always come first. We’re also thrilled that she brought along her handmade apple pies- which are really delicious.

We asked Sarah a few questions about working at Five Star and here’s what she had to say…

What was your first impression of the restaurant? Small, odd location but cute with friendly service and great food.

Your favorite thing about your job? The customers.

Your favorite smell in the kitchen? The freshly pulled pork and the brisket. Yum!
