Innovative Dining
Rich Knowles, Chef/Owner. Chef Rich graduated from Manatee High School in 2004, attended college in Gainesville, FL, and journeyed out west to pursue his culinary passion. Rich worked at a couple of nice restaurants in the ski resort town of Big Sky, Montana before taking a job at the very exclusive and renowned Yellowstone Club. His path eventually led him to help open up Bob’s Steak and Chophouse in downtown Austin, TX where he trained as a meat cutter and sous chef. A couple of years later, Chef Rich was ready for a change and answered the call to move back home to Florida. Rich opened up his own bistro in Bradenton, enRich Bistro, which became a local favorite spot for great food, wine, and craft cocktails. Rich served as the Owner and Executive Chef at enRich for six years until he sadly decided to close down due to Covid. Fortunately, as one door closed for Rich, another door opened. He purchased and rebranded Innovative Dining in order to provide an excellent standard of cuisine, crafted from top-quality ingredients.
