About
With over 20 years of culinary experience, I focus on crafting delicious and exciting meals tailored to your tastes. Whether you're seeking private home-dining experiences or weekly meal planning, I'm here to bring exceptional quality and technique to your kitchen. As a proud graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, I've honed my skills in multiple Michelin-starred restaurants in San Francisco. My culinary journey also took me abroad for four years, where I immersed myself in the vibrant flavors of Southeast Asia and Australia, drawing inspiration from diverse culinary traditions. In addition to my passion for cuisine, I am a dedicated runner and ultramarathon athlete, with finishes in prestigious events like the Boston Marathon and The Hardrock 100. Now calling Lakewood home, I am excited to share my culinary expertise and personal touch with you. Let's create unforgettable dining experiences together!

Robert was fantastic to work with! Great communication, gave us great recommendations on menu, an overall great experience. We were in a rental and weren't sure what materials would be available and he was able to put everything together beautifully. The food was incredible and beautifully plated. We would definitely use Robert again!
