Jason Pringle - Biography

Jason Pringle was born in San Bernardino, California, and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area. While attending college, Jason worked his way up to his first sous chef position under Chef Kirt Martin at the Snake River Grill in Hagerman, Idaho. He worked at this restaurant for four years, developing a true passion for cooking wild game and local fish.

In 2002, Jason returned to the Bay Area where he had the opportunity to work at AQUA in San Francisco, where he eventually became executive sous chef under Chef Michael Mina and then later with Chef Laurent Manrique. Pringle then decided to expand his fine-dining experience by staging at esteemed restaurants in New York City such as Le Bernardin and Daniel. He returned to his position at AQUA and took over as executive chef in 2009. Now, Jason combines his past experiences with his own vision to produce a very clean and modern menu for DB Bistro, using the freshest organic products in traditional preparations.
