Christopher Le Métayer
Executive Chef

Executive Chef Christophe Le Métayer leads the team at Brassica with a wealth of knowledge from his classical French training and illustrious resume of work at prestigious international restaurants. Originally from Meulan outside of Paris, Le Métayer graduated from the culinary school of the École Hôtelière de Saint-Quentin-En-Yvelines at the age of 16. He went on to perfect his skills at critically acclaimed restaurants in Copenhagen and Monte Carlo, including the Michelin-starred Alain Ducasse and Hotel Sofitel. After his time abroad, Le Métayer established himself as a culinary entrepreneur in Paris where he owned and operated Saint Martin, earning listings in respected guide books including the Michelin Guide, Pudlowski Guide and Bottin Gourmand. Later taking his success stateside, he continued his career in the Atlanta dining scene for over 20 years including nearly a decade spent at The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead where he demonstrated a mastery of American fine dining. Le Métayer 's extensive knowledge of both classical French cooking and the cuisine of the American South creates a unique menu that weaves together the two cuisines at the core of Brassica.

Cara McInerny
Assistant Director of Outlets

Lifelong Georgia native Cara McInerny is staying true to her roots as she leads the collective dream of Brassica’s Southern-inspired beverage program into fruition. McInerny began her journey in the flourishing restaurant scene of Athens, Georgia, where her time at an Italian wine and martini bar sparked an interest in the craft cocktail scene and harkened back to her family line of NYC bartenders. She migrated to Atlanta, finding a home in the growing New American restaurant movement when she joined chef-driven taqueria, Holy Taco. Her time experimenting with seasonal cocktail menus and food and beverage pairing inspired her to begin a seven-year immersion with agave-based spirits, leading to a path in tequila and mezcal at Sean Brock’s former Minero and Rocket Farm’s Superica. With a mastery of fine spirits under her belt, McInerny dove into the robust Atlanta beer scene at Brick Store Pub, acclaimed for their devotion to presenting fine Belgian and craft brews. McInerny joins the Brassica team with fresh inspiration and local ties that fuel the narrative she seeks to tell of the restaurant’s Southern motif and prestigious home in The Waldorf Astoria Atlanta Buckhead. Celebrating the generous fortunes of growing seasons in the South, the beverage program at Brassica will highlight artisanal spirits that speak to the evolution of the stories and dialogues of the American cocktail.
