Introduction: Hello, hello! I’m Chef Justin, and it’s lovely to (almost) meet you! After years of honing my craft in fine-dining kitchens and collecting numerous accolades (including the tite of Master Chef and a Michelin star from my time in France), I’m excited to bring all I’ve learned into your home and make your evening truly unforgettable, a culinary journey through the parts of our world that first inspired me to pick up an apron. Additionally, I have years of experience as a private chef for many UHNW families, celebrites, and executives, and after losing nearly two hundred and fifty pounds through radically delicious dietary and lifestyle changes, I would love the opportunity to create weekly, seasonally-curated menus just for you. If interested, please reach out to me either here or through Facebook or Instagram, both of which can be found below! Ciao for now! “People who love to eat are always the best people.” - Julia Child

Chef Justin delivered an unforgettable dining experience at our cabin in Blue Ridge. His four-course meal was nothing short of perfection. The charred kale salsa verde was a flavor explosion, but the slow-roasted celeriac bisque with shrimp from Saint Simons Island stole the show entirely. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing Chef Justin's skill and creativity. Chef Justin's flair in the kitchen is matched by his ability to bring humor and warmth to the dining experience. It's like having a personal chef who not only delights your palate but also knows how to add a dash of joy to the evening. Thank you, Chef Justin, for an incredible culinary journey in Blue Ridge. We're looking forward to the next opportunity to savor your exceptional creations again!

Chef Justin did a custom menu for a family member that we gifted this experience to for Christmas. He went above and beyond to accommodate their needs and they reported the food was delicious and the experience was amazing. He was responsive and helpful in coordinating. Would definitely recommend!

As we planned for our wedding, Chef Justin was in constant contact with the groom and bride. He was perfecting our hors d oeuvre’s, entree, accompanying wines, our signature wedding drink and a gorgeous white chocolate & mixed berry flower topped wedding cake. Not only was the food beautifully presented, but delicious. As most the guest enjoyed an amazing filet mignon with lobster tail, he also catered to a vegetarian bride. Justin has an easy going personality and a great sense of humor that added to the experience. His assistant server was fantastic. Justin also dealt and resolved many issues at the hotel where our wedding was held. Great all around experience. Can’t wait to use him again.

Wanted to celebrate a big event with a really special dinner. Chef White had an impressive resume and was highly recommended so I reached out. He responded immediately, and crafted a menu reflective of my preferences with some interesting twists. Chef came fully prepared to create the experience and took over the kitchen without a second glance. We enjoyed a fantastic taste experience, and were left with great memories (when he left, it was if he had never been there!). I would hire him for any event where you truly want a five-star experience!
