About

PLEASE READ: only serious inquiries only, we get charged up front for inquires! I believe food is more than just sustenance; it’s a powerful medium for creating connections, telling stories, and building unforgettable experiences. My passion lies in inspiring joy, connection, and creativity through every dish I prepare and every concept I help develop. With over a decade of experience, I’ve honed my skills in diverse culinary environments — starting in the dynamic kitchens of New York City and transitioning to the creative and fast-paced food truck industry. From there, I launched a consulting business where I helped new restaurants transform their ideas into reality. I guided them through every stage of the process, from concept development and permits to team training and opening day. Along the way, I also established a private chef business, catering unique, personalized dining experiences for all kinds of occasions. Today, I bring a unique blend of culinary artistry, industry expertise, and a passion for teaching and collaboration. Whether I’m crafting memorable meals as a private chef, consulting with restaurants to help them thrive, or inspiring teams to reach their potential, my mission remains the same: to create meaningful moments through food.

Chef Hank made our friend’s bachelorette dinner so special. Every dish was truly outstanding and we could tell how much care and attention to detail went into the preparation and presentation. He was also such a pleasure to be around and brought the most positive energy to our event. The bride to be said she was “in awe” of how good everything was. If you want to elevate your next dinner or special occasion, this is your guy. I will 100% hire Chef Hank again for future events!

Hank has catered our Girls weekend Birthday party for the last three years. We have never been disappointed. His food is beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. He works with all of our dietary restrictions and always has a surprise that everyone can enjoy. We look forward to his delicious feast and will hire him again this year and God willing for years yo come.

From the initial consultation, it was clear that Chef Hank truly cares about the details. He took the time to listen to our needs, offer expert suggestions, and customize a menu that was both exciting and tailored to our tastes and even accommodated someone with dietary restrictions. On the day of the event, the food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, and there was an elegant balance of textures and seasonings that spoke to Chef Hank’s skill and creativity. Our guests are still talking about the delicious food and detailed plating of each course. But it wasn’t just the food that impressed—it was the seamless service, the perfectly timed courses, and the courteous staff that made the entire event feel special. Culinary Journeys went above and beyond to accommodate dietary restrictions without sacrificing flavor or creativity, ensuring that all guests, no matter their preferences, felt well taken care of. Their attention to detail, from the table settings to the dessert selection, made the event feel luxurious without being over-the-top.
