About Chef David Skinner

The School of Health Professions is thrilled to welcome back Chef David Skinner for our second annual SHP Growing Dreams event. Chef Skinner, renowned for his culinary innovation, seamlessly blends food and art at Ishtia in Kemah, Texas. Ishtia is not just a restaurant—it's a haven for culinary enthusiasts and a celebration of indigenous culture, where gastronomy and artistic expression come together in perfect harmony.

This year, we're especially excited to dive into Chef Skinner's new concept for Ishtia, which draws inspiration from his Choctaw heritage and the stories of his ancestors. Join us as we celebrate his innovative approach to cuisine and the rich heritage it honors at this year's SHP Growing Dreams event.
