Dave Beran, born in Ashland, Wisconsin, and a 2003 graduate of Lake Forest College, cooked in Chicago at MK and Tru before joining Alinea in 2006, rising to chef de cuisine, and then serving as opening executive chef of Next, where he devised its rotating menus; he received the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Great Lakes in 2014 and was named a Food & Wine Best New Chef the same year. He left Next in April 2016 for Los Angeles, opening the 18-seat tasting-menu restaurant Dialogue on the Santa Monica Promenade in 2017, which earned a Michelin star and closed during the pandemic. He opened the French bistro Pasjoli in Santa Monica in September 2019, also Michelin-starred and reconcepted as a neighborhood bistro after a brief closure, and in late 2024 opened Seline, a 38-seat Santa Monica restaurant named for his daughter; he remains chef-owner of both.
