Chase Bruder

Lead Cook

Hey, it’s Chase Bruder; I am the lead cook at Tortugas Kitchen and Bar. I like to lead and train others, and what I do is simple yet elegant. I am a local in Flagler Beach and create specials as well as desserts that will surely wow our locals and tourists. I also participate in caterings in order to continue the service of great dishes each and every day. I started working in Tortugas back in 2017. At the beginning I worked as a food runner. My interests in the dishes and the way they were prepared and served, as well as the atmosphere all together, greatly intrigued me. I started to asked questions and learned. One faithful day, I was introduced to the kitchen and worked alongside sous chef Terry and executive chef Neil and fell in love with cooking. With all the ups and downs of my life, I am very grateful it lead me here and I could not be any happier. My brother has inspired me to work towards being just as good as him in the culinary arts. My mom and dad have shown me no matter how hard things get, continue to persevere and work through it. As a food loving fanatic, I strive to continue my growth everyday in my career for myself and my growing family. I look forward to continue my learning experience as time goes on.
