Park Kitchen | William Preisch, Sous Chef
           
Will Preisch started in the restaurant business at age 12, making cheesecakes, brownies and pies for his Dad’s flagship diner in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. He moved up the ladder to prep cook and eventually line cook.  With a desire to do more than flip eggs, Will began working at Fire Food and Drink under Douglas Katz in 2004.  Working at Fire cemented Will’s interest in upscale cuisine. 

In 2006 he moved cross-country to be part of Portland’s burgeoning restaurant scene.   His eagerness to learn landed him a job at Park Kitchen.  After nearly two years at PK, Will went on an eight-month hiatus from PK, traveling across the country and staging at various restaurants while working part-time at Le Pigeon. 

When the Sous Chef job became available at PK, there was no hesitation that Will was the right man for the job. Fortunately for us, Will’s enthusiasm and experimental nature have found a home at Park Kitchen.
