Lucas McGill - Chef Manager, Smokehouse Cafe at Bowman Gray
Lucas has over 25 years of experience in the Food & Beverage industry and began his career locally, with the City of Winston Salem at LJVM. Since then, he has managed, operated and held Head Chef positons at a variety of locations in full service restaurants, private country clubs, catering operations and University dining. Lucas also owned his own Restaurant & Bar in Boone, NC for over 8 years!
Prior to committing to his love for the culinary arts, Lucas spent time playing collegiate and professional ice hockey on the east coast, west coast, and Canada. As well as living in Poland and traveling eastern Europe while pursuing a career as an Advertising Writer, but always coming back to a Sautee pan to really enjoy life.
Lucas' favorite styles of cooking are Southern Soul, Coastal favorites, Italian and Asian Fusion. Today Lucas is back home in Winston-Salem, cooking for his son, daughter, and wife, and could not be happier to be a part of Canteen and spending time with everyone that enjoys Smokehouse Café.
