Originally from Southern California, Chef Travis Giffin grew up splitting his time between the beach and the mountains, where his appreciation for fresh ingredients and bold flavors was born. He began his culinary journey at the age of 17 and quickly discovered a passion for cooking—particularly pizza—which sparked a lifelong career in the kitchen.

After attending culinary school—during the same year he married and welcomed his first child—Chef Giffin transitioned from the world of pizza to full-service restaurants. He refined his skills and deepened his culinary knowledge during his time at The Playground in Santa Ana, CA, a pivotal experience that shaped him as a chef.

Travis later joined Ballast Point Brewing Company, where he was instrumental in opening multiple kitchens across the country. His move to Virginia began with one of those openings, and after falling in love with the region, he and his family chose to make it their permanent home.

Chef Giffin joined The Glebe in September 2023, bringing with him a wealth of experience, creativity, and dedication to culinary excellence. He is excited to continue growing his craft and sharing his passion for great food with the community.
