Come hungry. Leave with a story.
At Chuck Lager, we’re all about big flavors, cold drinks, and unforgettable nights. From Celebrity Chef Fabio Viviani’s crave-worthy dishes to craft bourbons, ice-cold beer, and desserts that don’t hold back, every visit is made for gathering, celebrating, and making memories.
Meet Chef Fabio Viviani
The story of Chuck Lager began with a friendship built around great meals and even better memories. After hearing stories about Fabio’s grandmother’s legendary cooking, Chuck Lager found himself welcomed into her kitchen for a meal he never forgot. That experience sparked a connection between Chuck and Fabio rooted in hospitality, storytelling, and a shared love for bringing people together.
Today, Chuck Lager America’s Tavern blends Fabio’s chef-driven approach with Chuck’s adventurous spirit to create a place where every visit feels memorable. Whether you’re gathering with family, catching the game, or discovering your new favorite dish.
And yes, you may just spot them both at the tavern from time to time. Fabio’s the one with the Italian accent. Chuck’s the one making up his own.
Celebrity Chef. Restaurateur. Storyteller. The heart behind the kitchen.
Fabio Viviani first captured America’s attention on Top Chef, where his talent, charm, and larger-than-life personality earned him the title of “Fan Favorite.” But beyond the television screen, Fabio is known for something even more important — his passion for bringing people together through unforgettable food and hospitality.
Raised in Florence, Italy, Fabio learned to cook beside his grandmother, where fresh pasta, slow-simmered sauces, and meals shared around the table became part of his DNA. Those early lessons still inspire every dish served at Chuck Lager America’s Tavern today: bold flavors, quality ingredients, and food made to be shared.
