About Me
With over 15 years of professional culinary experience, I specialize in omakase sushi, multi-course tasting menus, and elevated European and Japanese cuisine. I’ve cooked my way around the world, including formal sushi training in Japan, and have worked in some of the most renowned kitchens in the U.S., including Atera NYC, Eleven Madison Park, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, and Momofuku Ko.
I’ve spent the past 7 years working as a private chef, crafting personalized, restaurant-quality dining experiences in private homes. I also work closely with a certified sommelier to offer expert wine pairings tailored to each menu.
I take pride in offering an elevated experience — from sourcing ingredients to plating the final dish. When it comes to hospitality and quality, you truly get what you pay for.
Let me know how I can help create a memorable dining experience. I’m happy to answer any questions or help design the perfect menu for your event.

Brendan was a sincere pleasure to work with. Wonderful deliciousness in every bite. My party and I were pleased with everything. He has a great personality and his wife is also a pleasure. Flavors were on point throughout every dish and presentation and cleanliness were also great. I would definitely hire Brendan again. Include the Brussels sprouts and a Cesar salad in your menu! You won’t be disappointed!

Words can’t describe how incredible Brendan is! From our first phone call till the minute he left my house nothing was to hard for him. He helped me plan an incredible 8 course Japanese tasting menu. Each dish got better then the one Before and trust me that is no easy task as from the first dish the bar was set very high! His lovely wife made us Incredible cocktails and took us on delicious sake pairing journey throughout the meal. I truly can’t praise this incredible duo enough. I will 10000% be using them for many more dinner parties.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My daily rate is $750 plus the cost of groceries. For events with more than six guests, I recommend bringing in additional staff such as a server, sommelier, or bartender for a smoother experience. These services are available for an additional fee and can be tailored to your event needs.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to begin with a quick phone call to go over the event details — including the type of service, menu preferences, guest count, location, and budget. After we align on the vision, I’ll send over a customized menu. Confirmed the menu, I’ll collect a 25% deposit to confirm the booking and begin preparations.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts and trained in Michelin-starred kitchens around the world, including in Japan, france, new york, and California where. I’m also a certified personal trainer with a specialization in sports nutrition, which allows me to create meals that are both delicious and aligned with your health goals.
