If you follow the Portland food blogs then you've likely heard by now that Chef Paul Losch will be joining the DOC family beginning Wednesday June 22. Paul comes to DOC with a stellar work ethic, joining us most recently from Vino Paradiso where his Modern American menu was built around farm direct food and Mediterranean flavors. Paul received his formal training at London’s Vong, cooking under Jean Georges Vongerichten, and at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. Paul came to Portland in 2008 looking to be part of a vibrant, accessible, and locally sourced food scene after making his way through New York, Colorado and Pennsylvania with stints as a poissonier, chef de cuisine and butcher. This varied experience combined with his interest and love of hand-crafted, ingredient-focused fare will make Paul an excellent addition to our team.
Paul joins DOC Co-Chef Jobie Bailey who has been at DOC for just over a year, cooking collaboratively and shopping many a farmer’s market alongside departing Chef Timothy Wastell. Timothy is moving on to The Firehouse where he'll explore his interest in wood burning oven cookery. We are extremely proud of DOC’s role as an incubator of young talent, especially in a town that loves food so passionately. Our intimate, very open, home-style kitchen and strong emphasis on fresh, local, seasonal ingredients allows young chefs to develop their skills, focus and creativity in a highly collaborative environment. We wish Tim much luck in his next adventure.
Our new chef team will debut on Weds June 22nd. In the lead up, Timothy, Jobie and Paul will work alongside each other in the DOC kitchen on Friday June 17 and Saturday June 18 offering diners a unique opportunity to say goodbye to Tim, and hello to Paul as the 3 chefs work side by side this weekend.
Portland Monthly's Allison Jones sat down with Paul last week to get his thoughts on his new gig, very open kitchens and playlists. Read the complete interview here.  
DOC will be closed Tuesday the 21st and will re-open with Paul and Jobie at the helm the next day. Our wine curator Austin Morris Bridges will continue to manage the dining room and serve our guests his always-exceptional wine pairings and cocktails.
