About
My mantra/battle cry has been and always will be farm-to-table. That means fresh, locally grown ingredients crafted with love into some of the most savory culinary creations your palate has ever known.
More than being a chef, I love teaching people how to create. Teaching and sharing my unrivaled passion for food's character, lineage, history, origin and potential and infect others with the same willingness to, not only create, but be confident in their abilities to put smiles on the faces of all who experience their creations.
My goal is to, through teaching others, help people understand that healthy and truly good food begins with knowledge of where your food really comes from. It's through supporting our local farmers and communities that we begin to make a difference, not only in our own kitchen but in the world as a whole.

I have just contacted Roy, but I feel like he is a next door neighbor. Instead of just responding unavailable, or ghosting me, he reached out to be sure of what my needs where and it turned out he is the perfect man for the job. I am looking forward to meeting him.

Roy is not only an incredible Chef but he knows and can explain the science of preparing his culinary dishes. My experiences with him has always been insightful and just plain FUN. Were looking forward to our next get-together.

Roy is the consummate professional in all he does. He’s a great chef who knows how to prepare an amazing meal and loves to explain how it was done so you can not only enjoy the wonderful fruits on his labor, although he makes it look so effortless, but understand how all the components work together to make the masterpiece you get to enjoy. Can’t recommend enough!

Roy was gracious enough to have my wife and I over on many occasions. I always looks forward to it because I know I'm going to have the best meal I've had in a long time. Roy isn't just a great chef...he loves it, talks about it all the time, lives and breathes it. If I didn't live 40 miles away from his house I'd be over all the time...and probably have to exerciser a LOT more to stay in shape.

Working with Roy is always a relaxing and informative experience. He has so much knowledge to impart and enjoys sharing his passion for food and wine. Most importantly the end product; a savory delicious meal to eat and enjoy with others.
