about courtney storer
If Courtney Storer’s life sounds like an episode of The Bear, it’s no surprise. She’s the culinary producer of the hit show, which was created by her brother, Christopher Storer. Courtney, a Chicago native, was drawn to the restaurant industry as a teenager, but had to lie about her age to snag her first job. She grew up stuffing cannolis, running food and working the door at beloved family-owned restaurants all over the Chicagoland area. She later wound up working in HR for Fortune 500 companies right out of college. Unable to shake her love for hospitality and food she chose to attend culinary school at night on a whim and never turned back. After working at Verjus and Buvette in Paris and then as the Culinary Director for Jon & Vinny’s, the critically acclaimed Los Angeles restaurant, she has since branched off. In February 2020, she launched Coco's To Gogo; a brand dedicated to her favorite Italian nostalgic foods reimagined through her eyes.
