Chef Patrick Phillips
Meet the Chef
Born and raised in upstate New York, Chef Patrick Phillips developed a passion for cooking early on, spending countless hours in the kitchen with his mother and grandmother. His culinary journey began with managing an Italian restaurant and pizzeria in his hometown, where he cultivated a deep appreciation for traditional flavors and techniques.
In 2014, Patrick made a bold move across the country to Colorado, where he took on the role of sous chef at Blue Stag Saloon in Breckenridge. His talent and dedication quickly earned him a promotion to executive chef, a position that allowed him to lead the opening of a new restaurant for the company, Bold. There, he delighted diners with creative takes on breakfast, lunch, and dinner classics, establishing himself as a culinary force in the area.
In 2021, Patrick and his wife Hannah decided to relocate to South Carolina to be closer to family. Since early 2022, he has been dedicating his expertise and passion to Initial Q in Spartanburg, a sister restaurant where his influence continues to be felt through his commitment to quality and innovation. Chef Patrick and Hannah welcomed their first baby girl, Peyton in September 2024.
Chef Patrick’s journey is a testament to his dedication, creativity, and love for the culinary arts, which he continues to share with every dish he creates.
