George Atsangbe

DIRECTOR OF CULINARY

George Atsangbe is the culinary director at Brick House Tavern+ Tap, but he isn’t feeling any pressure. Nearly 30 years in a kitchen will do that for a man. From General Mills to Houlihans, Atsangbe has been a part of some successful teams, and he knows what it‘s like to need a good meal after a hard day’s work. Prior to joining Brick House, he conducted menu research and developed new core items for Houlihan’s, J Gilbert and Bristol Seafood Grill. At Brick House he has developed a menu that is as diverse as the 70+ beers Brick House offers. He put his signature twist on everything guys need while watching the game, from deviled eggs zipped up with smoky bacon and Tabasco sauce to his personal favorite, the Drunken Pork Chop.
