San Diego Personal Chef
Before first bite, nervous doubt can hover in the kitchen. It can feel a little uneasy not choosing your menu, or not knowing what you’re getting for dinner that evening. Especially from a guy you’ve never met. I understand the trepidation, but the method exists for a reason. Creating something new, is the norm for …
Summertime is a season where we crave things bright, cold and crisp, like cold watermelon. It’s also a time people don’t want to heat up their kitchens, so we move out to the grill. A truly iconic smell and flavor of summer is that of the grill. It screams relaxed and ready to party. So …
I am currently entertaining small groups of wonderful people eating memorable food. Being masked up during parties is no fun, but it beats not being at the party. Moving forward, we will continue to be healthy, vigilant and kind. We will keep some of our protocols as business returns to whatever the new normal is. …
I think we are all looking forward to whatever the new normal is going to be.

Last week I cooked for two bachelorette parties in Mission beach and one epic bachelor party for 17 hungry dudes. The boys had a big rental house in La Jolla and were pumped for a big weekend. Most of them came from the East coast so I made sure to throw a little San Diego …
Ahhh, another day and another little adventure. With “little” being the operative word, I was assigned the task of cooking a multi-course birthday dinner for four lovely ladies… in the kitchen you see above. This picture shows a kitchen in a bungalow at Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach. I was pretty excited to go; being …
I’ve got a brother. He lives in Las Vegas. My brother has a friend named Scott. Scott lives in Vegas. Scott is from Baton Rouge which is about 45 minutes north of New Orleans. One night, Scott and my brother had a breakthrough so profound that it altered the course of our lives. They reached …
