Bio: After working in kitchens in Chicago and New York City, Chef Corey Fuller has returned home to the Indianapolis area as Executive Chef of Commission Row. He began his career at age 13 at Ye Olde Library Restaurant (now called Woody’s) in his hometown of Carmel, IN, where he saw the chefs as the “cool kids” in the restaurant. By his senior year of high school, he was Sous Chef at the Villa Inn in downtown Indianapolis.
Chef Corey studied at Le Cordon Bleu in Chicago and worked in high-profile Windy City restaurants like Naha, Le Lan, and Alinea. He spent a year and a half in culinary research and development for a top Chicago culinary consulting firm, where he learned where and how to look ahead for rising trends. He also worked for Wolfgang Puck at locations around the country and as far away as Dubai.
His role as Executive Chef for Commission Row brings him back to Indianapolis for an artfully curated menu. He’s drawn inspiration from his experience working with top chefs, in-season ingredients, his friends, and fellow chefs.
When Chef Corey is away from Commission Row, he enjoys spending time with his wife and their son, James. After James was diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome, Chef Corey has become a strong advocate for awareness and fundraising for the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research.
