Since childhood, David Henry has had a true love for the culinary arts.

After cooking at various restaurants in Oklahoma City, Chef Henry truly began his culinary career with Alain and Michelle Buthion of La Baguette, where he was introduced to country French cooking.

After six years of working with the Buthion brothers, Alain introduced Chef Henry to Chef Kurt Fleischfresser of The Coach House in 2004. Shortly after, he started his apprenticeship with The Coach House and graduated in 2007.

Chef David Henry then became Chef Kurt Fleischfresser’s executive Sous Chef and started his journey with Western Concepts Restaurant Group where he is now the executive chef of The Lobby Bar and The Tasting Room.

Since 2007, Chef Henry has accompanied Chef Fleischfresser annually to Disney World for the Oklahoma Centennial for the Food and Wine festival at Epcot. For the past three years, he has been a judge for the Pro Start and partakes in the annual Odyssey de Culinaire.

Chef Henry has had the honor of cooking for former President George W. Bush twice.
