Itaru Nagano – Chef + Owner of Fairchild Restaurant 

Chef Itaru Nagano started cooking at a Japanese restaurant
in Madison, Wisconsin to relearn the language after moving from Japan to the US
at the age of nine. After getting hooked into cooking, Nagano moved around the
country making sushi and Japanese food. Nagano lived and cooked in Los Angeles,
New York and Phoenix, then back to Madison before deciding that he wanted to go
to culinary school. Nagano went to the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde
Park, New York and graduated with honors. After culinary school, Nagano worked
for James Beard Award winning chef Jose Andres in Washington, DC and continued
on to work for James Beard Award winning chef Tom Colicchio as a Sous chef at
the flagship restaurant Craft.

Nagano returned to Madison and worked at L’Etoile for over
six years for James Beard Award winning chef Tory Miller, five years of which
Nagano was the Chef de Cuisine. Nagano enjoys making simple food that is simple
and not over complicated, but with good ingredients. The focus for Nagano is
making the ingredients shine. At Fairchild, Nagano aims to bring fine dining
back into casual, having really good food done the right way.

This meal is priced at $180 per guest, which includes
beverage pairings and gratuity. Please inquire at
