The two-time James Beard Award nominee for Best Chef West Coast, Tyler launched his award-winning flagship restaurant, Wayfare Tavern, over a decade ago. Tyler Florence Fresh, his outpost in San Francisco International Airport, also serves the best of his signature dishes. His upcoming restaurant project, Miller & Lux, will be a West Coast steakhouse, set to open in Fall 2021 in the new Chase Arena, home of the Golden State Warriors.
In 2017, Tyler created a full-stack production company, Monarch Collective, Inc.
