Chef David Lopez , of Atomic Clock Brewing in Durham, was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He fell in love with cooking at a young age in the kitchen with his mom and grandmother exploring and developing a deep appreciation for Puerto Rican food from his cultural background.
Chef David came up in the “cowboy kitchens” in Manhattan and Brooklyn working in a variety of roles at a young age from saucier in an upscale Italian restaurant to diving deep into multiple styles of asian cuisine as a sous chef at an upscale restaurant in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and chef at a farm-to-table restaurant in the Lower Eastside. Most recently, in Durham, Chef David worked at Dashi, curating delicious small plates and dishes for Omakases and was the chef at M Kokko adding a small plates menu to their offerings. He is currently the chef at Atomic Clock where he developed the menu and has led multiple coursed dinner pairings.
