Answer
My uncle (who is a chef) cooked dinner for us.
Why not the others: My uncle (who is a chef cooked dinner for us.: The closing bracket is missing. My uncle who is a chef) cooked dinner for us.: The opening bracket is missing. My uncle (who is) a chef cooked dinner for us.: The brackets enclose only part of the extra information.
