Landing his first job in the Ritz-Carlton in Philadelphia was a clear

indication that Chris Brugler debuted in the culinary world in a big

way. From there, he was sent to other Ritz-Carlton properties all
over the country. Feeling the call of the West Coast, he relocated
to California to work as a private chef for high-profile clients. It was
then he discovered an innate talent for challah-baking that
delighted both his clients and their friends. With that, Challah King
was born and the word spread like wildfire.
