About Clay Conley:
Chef Clay Conley has worked his way around the kitchen since his teenage years washing dishes. Raised on 30 acres in rural Maine in a 17th-century home heated only by wood fire, his childhood was defined by exploring the wilderness, raising farm animals, and tending to the land. This rustic upbringing ultimately influenced his style in the kitchen, and today Conley is known for his seasonal, robust, wood-fired cuisine.
In 2011, Conley opened his first chef-helmed venture, Buccan. The modern American restaurant focuses on complex yet balanced small plates and is credited with revolutionizing the Palm Beach dining scene. Conley followed Buccan’s success with Imoto (“little sister”), a Japanese/Asian concept next door inspired by his time living in Tokyo. In 2016, Conley opened Grato, a neighborhood restaurant in West Palm Beach that features a multi-cuisine menu of seasonal, chef-inspired dishes. Conley also founded the high-quality, fast-casual epicurean sandwich and salad concept, Buccan Sandwich Shop, which opened its first location in 2015 directly next to Buccan on Palm Beach, and a second location in 2023 directly next to Grato in West Palm Beach.
A six-time Best Chef: South semifinalist, Conley and his restaurants have been recognized in national and international media.
