Bio:
Isaac started cooking as a teenager in Alameda, CA, where he would spin produce from farmers’ markets into creative dishes for his family. The California Culinary Academy graduate developed his skills over 22 years working at some of the Bay Area’s most respected restaurants before landing at Timber and Salt in 2017. At Timber and Salt, he continues to build on the thoughtful and playful cuisine from Maven that earned him a spot on the SF Chronicle Top 100 Restaurant list three years in a row.
Previous experience includes a year as lead line cook at venerable three Michelin-starred Manresa in Los Gatos, CA, where Miller honed his craft under chef David Kinch and collaborated with chef peers Jeremy Fox, Charlie Parker, and Justin Severino. He transitioned to Manresa after serving as executive chef of San Mateo’s 231 Ellsworth, widely considered one the Peninsula’s best fine dining restaurants, where he spent a total of nine years. In addition to these high profile posts, Miller has led and worked the lines at a host of restaurants including One Market, Flea St. Cafe, and Sons & Daughters.
He enjoys spending time with his wife and teaching his 3-year-old how to break dance.
