I don't cater. I cook. Like any chef in a quality restaurant, I write a menu that reflects who I am, what I've learned over thirty-four years as a chef, and what's best in Santa Barbara right now. You're not hiring someone to execute a request. You're being invited to my table, set in your home or rental.

A white plate with a small portion of gourmet dish, including sliced meat, basil leaves, and garnishes, on a wooden table.

Cooking for people to me is not catering; it is a relationship with those who are looking to make memories and have an experience that is more than just filling up on food.

It is a table with my own curated plateware and all the other details that set a table to serve as a special place for a few hours and bring you all together.

I have a close vendor collection that will bring you the very best, with dishes and flavors experienced here and nowhere else.
