Oak Steakhouse Nashville announces new executive chef




The Indigo Road Hospitality Group has announced the appointment of Scott Kroener as executive chef of Oak Steakhouse Nashville.

With over 20 years of experience in steakhouses around the country, Kroener will oversee the kitchen as well as spearhead the steakhouse’s culinary program with a strong focus on seasonal ingredients and reinvented classics.

A graduate and valedictorian of the Culinary Institute of America, Kroener brings his steakhouse background and expertise from past chef roles at Fleming’s Steakhouse in Edgewater, New Jersey, where he worked for seven years, before becoming the first chef of Del Frisco’s Grille in New York City. Through his previous experiences, Kroener has defined his approach to iconic steakhouse dishes, putting an emphasis on high-quality ingredients. At Oak Nashville, he will continue his mission, introducing updated menu items that celebrate the seasonal bounty of produce from surrounding Tennessee farms and purveyors.

“My experience has taught me the value of utilizing high-quality ingredients to celebrate and highlight steakhouse classics,” Kroener said in a news release. “Our team at Oak is excited to continue redefining steakhouse dishes as we know them to be, while collaborating to perfect our recipes and thinking outside the box when it comes to showcasing Tennessee produce.”

Kroener plans to lead the culinary team at Oak with an emphasis on continued education and leadership development.

“One of my greatest career accomplishments has been creating an atmosphere where my team can learn and work towards their goals every day,” he said. “As I coach and develop the team at Oak, I’m finding that I’m also learning a lot from them, and it’s been such a joy already working together to make the Oak Nashville menu the best it’s ever been.”
