Jason Wilson Bio

Chef Jason Wilson, named one of the 10 Best New Chef’s 2006 by Food & Wine Magazine, is the owner and executive chef of the critically acclaimed CRUSH Restaurant in Seattle. Staying true to his ideals, using only the finest and freshest organic ingredients, Jason has created a menu sure to amuse your senses. Blending a medley of spices and fragrances like cinnamon and allspice, star anise and clove, chile and thyme that marry so beautifully and sometimes unexpectedly with a variety of vintages. His menus promise to take you on exotic voyages around the world. Jason’s passion and inspiration make for excellent dining experience.
 
A 1995 graduate of the esteemed California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, Jason’s passion for culinary knowledge and experience brought him to some of the most influential kitchens and patisseries in California, Singapore and France before eventually settling in Seattle. He opened CRUSH in 2005 with business and real life partner, Nicole Wilson, as part of a lifelong dream.
 
Married on a private estate in Carntion during the 2001 crush, what else could they have named their first restaurant? Decorated in colors reminiscent of their first venture together at an espresso bar, the exterior walls are a rich cappuccino with milky white trim. CRUSH is the perfect expression of their love for each other and the perfect showcase for Jason’s food.
 

Modern American Cuisine is how Jason describes his style of cooking. A big supporter of local growers and producers, he emphasizes organic ingredients and seasonal products. Always looking to test his skills, Jason approached this challenge of pairing food and fine wines with an open mind and great enthusiasm.
