Clint Boutwell

The Grillehouse’s roots are entwined with its Chef and Owner Clint Boutwell. Born in Tyler, Texas, Chef Clint moved to Oxford, MS at the age of 11. His love for food and restaurants were developed when dining at his Grandmother's kitchen table, and working in the Mississippi Delta. He took his passion and enrolled in culinary classes; performing an internship with Emeril's in New Orleans. He spent additional time in the “Big Easy” at a local steakhouse, albeit brief, due to Hurricane Katrina. Due to the hardship, Clint and his family uprooted to Tennessee where he continued to develop his culinary skills. Feeling the ties pulling at him to return home, Clint and a childhood friend worked together to open McAnerney’s Steak and Seafood outside of Winona, MS. This is where he developed and perfected his signature steak preparation technique used today at The Grillehouse. At this point, Clint had the drive to be not only an Executive Chef but also have the opportunity to put his name on the door with full culinary discretion. In Grenada, MS he found it at the Orleans Bistro. Wanting to continue his growth and culinary experiences, Clint decided to take off to Memphis, TN. He opened Orleans on Front, and then a brief stint in Vail, CO where he worked as an Executive Chef at the Vail Chophouse. Following the famous lyrics, “Who says you can’t go back?”; Clint did exactly that. He returned to Oxford to create his very successful steakhouse concept, Oxford Grillehouse. Finding a great corner location on the square, Clint made the major investment to be the place to go for steak and Southern-inspired seafood dishes. Over the course of the next few years, Clint took his concept outside of the quaint Oxford Square and into the town of Southaven.
