Kate Rousset, Chef de Cuisine
Growing up in Louisiana, Kate was fortunate to have parents who had a passion for cooking. From a young age, she was taught skills in the kitchen and even recalls the first time she made hollandaise sauce with her father as a kid. That love of food early on nurtured Kate’s curiosity about a career in culinary and serves as the foundation
Growing up in Louisiana, Kate was fortunate to have parents who had a passion for cooking. From a young age, she was taught skills in the kitchen and even recalls the first time she made hollandaise sauce with her father as a kid. That love of food early on nurtured Kate’s curiosity about a career in culinary and serves as the foundation for the type of chef she is today.
At the start of her career, Kate worked with seafood as a fishmonger at Whole Foods, learning about seafood and getting great exposure to sustainable practices and a world of fresh ingredients. Soon after, she transitioned into becoming a line cook at Hillside Farmacy, a Texas Historical Landmark and beloved local eatery in Austin, Texas.
After working her way up to sous chef at Hillside, she began helping out at Eden East, a well-known and popular localized dining experience by chef Sonya Cote and part of the Eden Restaurant Group.
In 2019, she opened her passion program, Bacchus and Brown, a New Orleans-inspired restaurant. While that business did not last due to the pandemic, she was thrilled to join another Eden Restaurant Group experience as chef de cuisine at Store House Market & Eatery.
