Chef Brandon Campney graduated from The Culinary Institute of America in 2012. After a few years of working in the Hudson Valley he made his way to New Jersey in 2015 to work at The Stirling Hotel. In 2016 the Baldassarre family, owners of The Stirling Hotel for over 40 years now, had their eyes set on opening a new modern American restaurant. At the young age of 24 Brandon’s passion and drive led him to be the opening chef of Stirling Tavern in Morristown, New Jersey.

Since then, both Stirling Tavern and Chef Campney have earned plenty of recognition and accolades. Brandon’s personality along with his brand of innovative and modern American cuisine caught the eye of Food Network producers in 2020 when he appeared on Guy’s Grocery games. His Food Network competition appearances didn’t end there as he went on to be featured on Chopped and Kitchen Crash, winning both.

As the Stirling team looks to expand and develop new concepts, Brandon continues to push himself to grow as not only a chef, but as an innovator and leader in all aspects of opening and running successful restaurants.
