Thank you & Farewell to Chef Jeffrey Creager

Chef Jeffrey Creager AKA Cheffrey (pictured above in the backwards cap), will be leaving Lavish Roots after almost 6 years with us!  Since 2018, we have experienced an extreme amount of growth and Jeff has been a huge part of that. Jeff started as a Junior Sous Chef and has earned his way up the ranks to the position of Senior Chef de Cuisine. He helped us open and develop several cafe teams including taking on the enormous Spring District/The Blocks project in Bellevue. He is definitely a fan favorite with the crews he works with and is always the person you can lean on during long or challenging days. It has been a pleasure to work with Jeff over the years and we are happy to hear he is staying in the city so we can catch a Mariners game sometime and catch up. Thanks for everything, Chef, you'll be missed!  

In related news, we’ve got another big announcement to share! Chef Lindsey Hayter is taking on the role of Chef de Cuisine at the Blocks! We’re excited for this transition and welcome Chef Lindsey to Bellevue.
