Meet the Chef

Rachel Klein – Chef

Chef Rachel Klein developed a love of food at an early age thanks to her cosmopolitan surrounds and extensive family travel throughout Europe and the United States. Today, these influences converge in Klein’s culinary philosophy – she respects the classics which she often deconstructs before adding her own unexpected twists.

Klein’s first opportunity to showcase her own unique take on global cuisine came as Executive Chef at X.O. Café in Providence, Rhode Island. Her talent was immediately recognized on a national level and she was nominated one of the top chefs in the U.S. by Southwest Airlines’ Spirit Magazine. Following her success at X.O. Café, Klein became Executive Chef of Lot 401 in Providence, named one of America’s best new restaurants in 2004 by Esquire.

After leaving Providence, Klein continued to make headlines as Executive Chef at OM Restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts where she was recognized by both The Boston Globe and Boston magazine as Boston’s Best New Chef and her talent garnered OM a coveted position on the Conde Nast Traveler Hot List and Esquire’s Best New Restaurant list.
