From local chef Erik Desjarlais: “‘My wife, Krista Desjarlais (nee Kern) was cooking in Portland in the late 80’s while studying Medieval Lit at USM. She took that Medieval Lit major and a few years of being a line cook and went on to perform and cook in some of the best kitchens in the world, both as a student and a teacher. Le Cirque, Gotham, and Guy Savoy, just to name a few. She came full circle and opened Bresca in February of 2007, on Middle Street in Portland. With a cunning skill set and the most natural intuition for cooking, Krista Kern and Bresca were immediate hits. So much so, that she won me over with a simple 6 minute egg with pancetta, dark seeded toast and kombu butter... and won over the James Beard Foundation to include her as a semi-finalist for Best Chef Northeast last year. ”
