About
PLEASE READ: 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. 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 fast-paced food truck industry. From there, I launched a consulting business where I helped new restaurants transform their ideas into reality. Along the way, I also established a private chef business, catering 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 or consulting with restaurants to help them thrive, my mission remains the same: to create meaningful moments through food.

I highly recommend Culinary Journeys (NJ)/Chef Hank! He is a wonderful chef, highly organized, and very kind, warm, and professional. He prepared a delicious Thanksgiving feast in my kitchen for 18 people without breaking a sweat! The turkey was huge and he cooked it perfectly. He cleaned up all of his cooking and serving gear and is a pleasure to work with. Will be hiring him again for sure for another event.

Chef Tanner arrived 2 hours early to ensure everything was ready in time for our scheduled dinner service. He did a fantastic job with food that tasted amazing, can't recommend him enough.
