Phil was born in Ontario, Canada and moved to Charlotte when he was fourteen with his family. His first job in a kitchen was as a dishwasher at a small local Café when he was fifteen. It was there with his passion and interest in food, that was inspired in him by his Mother, who was always cooking and baking at home, grew as he quickly moved up through the various positions in the kitchen.

 Working under some great Chefs at this time, Phil achieved the role of Sous Chef at The Lamplighter Restaurant where he remained until its close. Soon after, he became the Executive Chef of Patou French Bistro for four years. Seeking new challenges and greater opportunity he began work at Noble’s Restaurant in late 2006. He was the offered the position of Sous Chef in 2007.

Phil enjoys the passion, work ethic and commitment to excellence that Chef Jim Noble and his entire staff has at Noble’s Grille. Where each day represents new challenges and learning opportunities, Phil feels privileged to be a part of this environment.

When he is off Phil enjoys spending time with his son Max, reading and watching movies.

“Each day represents new challenges and learning opportunities and I feel privileged to be a part of this environment and look forward to being a part of the Winston-Salem community,” says Barnes
