Quentin Welch Named Executive Chef at Bourbon Steak Promotion moves Welch to the top spot in the JW Marriott Nashville steakhouse kitchen Tweet Share JW Marriott Nashville and Michael Mina’s Mina Group have promoted Quentin Welch to executive chef at Bourbon Steak, the swanky steakhouse at the top of the hotel. Welch plans to stick with the formula that has made Bourbon Steak successful (those fries with the trio dipping sauces will stay on the menu), and she plans to continue to make it a place for “birthdays and anniversaries” for locals, as well as for well-heeled guests. “We push ourselves a lot,” she says of the restaurant’s reputation for high-end steak, seafood and wine, plus impeccable service.
