Chef David began his restaurant career flipping burgers for a national chain in 1985. He was intrigued by all of the systems in use. A year later he moved to a white tablecloth restaurant famous for classical table side flambes. In the mid 90’s David and his new bride moved to Ottawa Canada for a classical French Culinary education at Ecole Le Cordon Bleu.
Currently Chef Knickrehm is getting back to having fun with food at Deja Brew Bistro where there are few rules and a whole lot of eccentric personalities.
He is active in the American Culinary Federation; having received his Certified Executive Chef certification, Practical Examination Judge credentials and his induction in the American Academy of Chefs. He is happily married to certified pastry chef, Rachel Knickrehm CCC, CWPC.
