Rick Lindeboom
Rick Lindeboom joined Cameron Mitchell Restaurants (CMR) in 1994 and has since worked in several Cameron Mitchell Restaurants Specialty restaurants, Rusty Bucket Restaurant and Tavern (RB), and now oversees Cluck Norris as the Regional Chef.
Lindeboom became interested in the restaurant and hospitality industry very early, as his father worked in the industry. From his earliest memories, he recalls his father reviewing drawings for a restaurant he designed and later opened, which Lindeboom worked at in high school. Lindeboom recounts having an Executive Chef at the restaurant “take him under his wing”, gaining experience and learning classic cooking techniques.
Working for Cluck Norris, which also doubles as a virtual brand for RB, Lindeboom’s favorite thing about it is that it offers the opportunity to create different “run of the mill” chicken sandwiches (especially during the “chicken sandwich war”) and sauces, which add to the diversity of offerings at Budd Dairy Food Hall.
Lindeboom has been awarded Chef of the Year twice and Operating Partner during his career at CMR & RB. He also earned the Bucket Life Award- an award at RB that spotlights an Associate who has embodied the company’s culture.
Dabbling in many cuisine styles, Lindeboom describes himself as a “curious cooker”. During the pandemic, he discovered many different ethnic cuisines that were full of bold flavors. He says he has “yet to find a cuisine that doesn’t offer a new experience to learn.” Outside of work, he enjoys fishing, hiking, and cooking new ethnic foods.
