Gavin Fine

Il Villaggio Osteria, The Kitchen, Bin22, Roadhouse Pub & Eatery, The Bistro, Bodega, Bistro Catering, Bovine + Swine, Cream + Sugar, Roadhouse Brewing Co.

Gavin Fine developed a passion for the culinary world as a young boy growing up in Chicago. After working for Richard Melman’s restaurant group, Lettuce Entertain You, in his home town, he followed his passion to Cornell University's Hotel and Restaurant Management School and then to Jackson Hole. While his visions of becoming a ski bum never fully materialized, Fine worked nearly every job between the front- and back-of-house, where he met his soon-to-be business partner Roger Freedman, working side-by-side in one of the area’s top restaurant kitchens. Fine and Freedman forged a friendship and opened their first restaurant, Rendezvous Bistro, in 2001, when Fine was just 26-years-old. After a number of years, Fine opened his second business in 2003 (Bistro Catering). Many years later, several restaurants (Il Villaggio Osteria, The Kitchen, Bin22, The Bistro), a specialty grocer (Bodega) and retail brands (Cream + Sugar artisan ice cream and Bovine & Swine craft meats) added to what is now Fine Dining Restaurant Group, Fine continues to be considered a premier restauranteur of the Rocky Mountain region. In addition to FDRG, Fine is also the co-owner and founder of Roadhouse Brewing Co.

Chris Massad

Chris Massad

Kampai, Akiko’s Restaurant and Sushi Bar

Chris Massad is the sushi chef at Jackson Hole’s new sushi restaurant, Kampai. He also served as the head chef of Akiko's Restaurant and Sushi Bar. He was born in Colorado; however, he grew up all over the world — from Texas to the Middle East and finally to Tokyo. He spent middle and high school in Tokyo, and upon returning, he wanted to remain connected to Japan in a creative way. Cooking gave him the ability to do so. 

Chris originally focused on sushi and still holds it as his specialty. However, training in Japan made him realize how much more there was.  As a chef, he’s worked to connect with American diners to see what they enjoy. He also has been studying sake and visiting breweries for many years, which has led to an interest in wine. 

He worked at Nobu in Colorado, then relocated to San Francisco to work as head chef at Akikos, and finally moved onto training at a kaiseki restaurant in Kyoto and making sushi in Tokyo.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Chef Massad relocated to Jackson Hole to open Kampai after traveling in Japan to fish farms and markets to learn more about the systems. Kampai features a modern take on traditional Japanese cuisine and featuring local products when possible.
