📢 What do culinary excellence, community service, and creative leadership have in common? This week at Rotary, the answer is Chef Kris Komori.
Join us as we welcome Kris Komori, co-owner and chef of KIN and Art Haus Bar in downtown Boise. Kris will share his journey through food, leadership, creativity, and service—and how each can strengthen a community.
Born in British Columbia and raised throughout the Northwest, Kris graduated from the College of Idaho before attending culinary school in Vermont. His career eventually brought him back to Boise, where he worked at the Boise Farmers Market and became chef at State & Lemp.
Today, he leads the kitchen at KIN and Art Haus Bar.
