Who and What?
A career born in Las Vegas as a personal chef, I cooked for highly esteemed residents, visiting and local celebrities. I also had the distinct honor of cooking for family holiday events and special occasions. In almost every case, there was some kind of special dietary need I was always able to meet.
I have been and still occasionally work as a personal chef is a chef who prepares meals for a client in the client’s home kitchen, based on the client’s needs and personal preferences. In many cases this can be for multiple meals stored for a week at a time or a one time occasion.
A graduate from the Art Institute of Las Vegas under world renown CMC Raimund Hoffmesiter. Also worked under CMC Gustaf Mueller for internship before graduating with a degree in Culinary back when his BullShrimp restaurant was still at Green Valley Ranch Casino.
My time at the Venetian Hotel and Casino in their Banquets Department was one of the most rewarding periods of my time in cooking. Although I started in their hot kitchen cooking and setting up savory food for dozens to hundreds at a time, I migrated into the Pastry Shop where I eventually handled some very impressive orders. I made V.I.P. amenities to order or amazing chocolate creations celebrating the hotel theme for guests.
I am not a caterer. In my case, I will either cook in your home or at the location of your event. You see the food arriving fresh and prepared right in front of you. If you like, you might even have the opportunity to learn a little something new about cooking.
The food arrives fresh and is not left sitting in heating pans for extended hours. With a caterer you do not know how long ago the food was prepared or how far across town it traveled.
