Daniel Patterson (chef)
Daniel Patterson is an American chef and restaurateur.
Life and career
Patterson was born in Lynn, Massachusetts. His mother was a French and history teacher, and his father, John Patterson, is a lawyer. He says his family's frequent travels to France influenced his views on food. He began working as a restaurant dishwasher at age 14, and attended Duke University before dropping out. In 1989 he moved to Sonoma, California with then-girlfriend (and later wife) Elizabeth Ramsey. With Ramsey, Patterson opened Babette's, a French-inspired restaurant, in Sonoma in 1994 at age 25. The restaurant subsequently closed in 1999 when his lease expired. Wine Spectator described it as a "top" restaurant.[1] Patterson and Ramsey opened Elizabeth Daniel in 2000, and closed it on New Year's Day, 2004 due to slow business.[2][3] He was opening chef at Frisson, a short-lived restaurant that incorporated elements of aromatherapy and molecular gastronomy.[2]
Coi, which he opened in 2006,[2] earned two Michelin stars, and was one of several restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area to earn four stars from the San Francisco Chronicle. [4]
He opened restaurants Plum in Uptown Oakland in 2010 and Haven in Oakland's Jack London Square in 2012. In 2017, Patterson partnered with LA chef Roy Choi to open Locol, which received the LA Times Restaurant of the Year award before closing in 2018.[5] In 2022, he closed Coi.[6]
Patterson divorced from litigation and business attorney Alexandra Foote in 2019. He currently lives in Los Angeles, CA with his third wife, Sarah Lewitinn.
