Amber Halverson has been appointed Sous Chef at Lily Hall
Amber's passion for food and hospitality sparked at a young age as she grew up watching her grandmother run their family restaurant and scratch kitchen in Vesper, WI. Amber's grandparents taught her how to garden and live off the land, and she developed an affinity for farm-to-table dining through this experience, which she carried on while completing an internship at a historical bakery in Madison, WI. She then studied and worked under two-time Iron Chef winner Tory Miller and local butchers to learn their trade. Now, with more than 20 years of experience, Amber has opened restaurant Alcaniz Kitchen & Tap in Pensacola's historic district and worked in acclaimed restaurants such as Alchemy Café in Madison, WI and V-Paul's Italian Ristorante in Pensacola, FL. As Sous Chef at Brother Fox and Sister Hen, Amber will direct food preparation and collaborate with Head Chef Darian on developing new menu items, managing inventory and supply orders, as well as leasing the back of house team to success. Amber has been in the forefront of the contemporary food movement in Pensacola, bringing choice options to all walks of life including the vegetarian and vegan community. In her down time, Amber enjoys hosting dinners with her friends and spending time in nature with her dogs Gia and Jax.
