Carter got his start in the restaurant business like many chefs…in the dish room. Carter started his career with the Outback Corporation where he worked his way from the dish pit all the way up to Kitchen Manager. Having experienced much of what Outback Corporation had to offer, Carter was eager to broaden his culinary skills and went searching for a reputable high-end restaurant to advance his career. This search led him to meet Jordan Mackey at The Edgewater…the corporate flagship of Noble House Hotels and Resorts. There, he worked his way through the various outlets of the Seattle institution, which led him to be recruited and join Chef Jordan yet again in California’s Napa Valley. There, Carter worked as the Chef de Cuisine at Cuvee Napa. Carter then returned to Seattle to work with Benchmark Hospitality International in assisting and repositioning BOKA Restaurant and Bar to the downtown market. Carter is delighted to join Jordan Mackey for a 3rd time in yet another city to assist in the opening of Flank restaurant.
