About Chef Chris

Chris is a Private Chef and Bay Area native who brings true Michelin cred to his events. Growing up visiting farmers markets and foraging for mushrooms and huckleberries at his family's ranch in Mendocino, Chris possesses a deep-rooted passion for local, seasonal, farm-fresh ingredients. His menus, crafted for each event, reflect his diverse culinary experiences and unwavering dedication to sourcing the finest quality ingredients.

He held the position of Sous Chef at Cotogna here in SF and his final restaurant role was as Chef de Cuisine at Seven Hills before transitioning to a career as a private chef.
