About
Chef Chris
Chris is a chef with more than a decade of experience in hospitality, driven by a lifelong passion for cooking that began in childhood. What began with helping Mom in the kitchen and Dad on the grill led eventually to a career working in food and hospitality.
Over the course of his career, he has worked across a wide range of culinary environments, including short-order kitchens, banquet operations, and remote event settings. These experiences have helped to shape a versatile and dependable cook.
A defining focus of his work has been learning whole-animal butchery and the making of charcuterie, with a strong respect for ingredient-driven cooking and full utilization of raw product. Because of this his menus often reflect rustic plates focusing on various cuts of meat and fish, rounded out with well paired side dishes. He also enjoys incorporating flavors from fruits and vegetables in different ways, such as a BBQ beet puree under a pastrami-seasoned steak or a blueberry gastrique on a pork chop.
At the center of his work is the belief that food can and should bring people together. Whether preparing an intimate dinner or a large celebration, he values the role a well-crafted meal plays in creating connection, conversation, and lasting memories.
Besides being passionate about food Chris loves to play and listen to music. He also loves being outdoors and running and recently completed his first marathon. He lives in Charleston with his wife, Meg, and their dog, Kenzie, who is his least-harsh critic.
