In 33 years as a chef, Jeff Tunks says he never has a boring day.
"I've seen just about everything there is to see in the restaurant business," he says.
Tunks was already an accomplished chef and restaurant entrepreneur with a group that includes successful DC restaurants DC Coast, TehPenh and Ceiba before venturing across the Potomac to open PassionFish at Reston Town Center in October 2008 .
Tunks attended the Culinary Institute of America, where he received the prestigious Frances L. Roth Award for outstanding performance. Early in his career he worked at the Grill Room in New Orleans, earning a Gourmet Magazine "best restaurant" rating. He opened his first restaurant, DC Coast, in 1998.
