Potironne Congratulates Neal Fraser, Iron Chef America Winner.

Neal Fraser began his culinary career in Los Angeles at the age of 20, working as a line cook at Eureka Brewery and Restaurant , one of Wolfgang Puck's earliest restaurants.   Inspired by this introduction to the life of a professional chef, Fraser entered the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, in the fall of 1990.

As Partner and Executive Chef of GRACE, Fraser serves his New American cuisine in an atmosphere perfectly designed to complement the ambitious flavors of one of Los Angeles' most revolutionary culinary talents.
