The CHR Steak culinary team at work in the kitchen

Our Dedicated Team

Meet The Team

The people behind every plate and every pour.

Jeremy Green

Executive Chef & Owner

For Jeremy Green, CHR Steak is the realization of a lifelong dream. It is his ninth restaurant. Eight are behind him now, and he still owns and runs Sliced in Hoschton. He brings decades of culinary experience and real entrepreneurial drive to the kitchen, and he has spent his career building dining experiences rooted in quality, creativity, and genuine connection. CHR Steak is the concept he carried for years before bringing it to life in Gainesville, Georgia. From the in-house dry-aging program to the way the room is run, every detail reflects his belief that a steakhouse should be a night worth remembering, not just a meal.

Josh Link

Chef de Cuisine

Josh Link brings precision, patience, and quiet leadership to the heart of the CHR Steak kitchen. As Chef de Cuisine, he helps execute the dry-aged prime steak program, mentors the culinary team, and makes sure every plate meets the standard our guests expect. His cooking is grounded in discipline, consistency, and a deep respect for ingredients. Whether he is refining a technique, supporting service, or building a seasonal feature, he keeps the kitchen steady and the food honest.

Derrick Turner

General Manager

Derrick Turner brings over 30 years of hospitality experience to his role as General Manager. His career has been built on leadership, integrity, and a genuine passion for getting the details right. With deep roots in the Gainesville community and decades of industry insight, he sets the tone for the guest experience, from running smooth service to mentoring the next generation of hospitality professionals. He leads with clarity and a commitment to doing things the right way, every time.

Nikki DeHoff

Executive Beverage Director & Front of House Management

Nikki DeHoff blends creativity, hospitality, and operational leadership as Executive Beverage Director. She builds CHR Steak's beverage program with a sommelier's precision and a bartender's instinct, from premium whiskeys and boutique wines to handcrafted cocktails and thoughtful zero-proof options, all chosen to pair with the steakhouse menu. She develops the signature drinks that become guest favorites and works closely with top distributors and wineries to keep the quality high. On the floor, she trains and empowers the front-of-house team to deliver service that feels polished, warm, and genuine.

Jessica DuFrain

Reservations Coordinator

Jessica DuFrain is the voice of CHR Steak. As Reservations Coordinator she keeps the book, serves as the point person for party bookings, contracts, and OpenTable, and answers the phone when you call before hours. Most Friday and Saturday nights you will find her on the floor as well. She started in the industry at 18 and brings more than 30 years of experience managing bars, kitchens, restaurants, and nightclubs, building beverage and training programs along the way. A classically trained bartender who has competed in cocktail competitions (just don't call her a mixologist), she expects nothing of others that she does not first ask of herself. Her priority is the wow moment: making every guest feel like the only people in the room.
