Get to know me better

A chef with an unparalleled passion for cooking. My goal is deliver unique flavor profiles, creativity, poise, and elegance to anything I create.

Growing up along the coastal parts of Alabama, I discovered my love for food through the abundance of fresh seafood, farmer's markets, and butcher shops. With the guidance of my mother and grandmother, I developed a passion for cooking that led me to pursue my culinary education at Johnson and Wales University. For nearly two decades, I honed my craft as a Banquet Chef at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, where I gained invaluable experience working in restaurants and managing culinary events. Over time, I discovered that I had a gift for teaching, which has become an essential part of my culinary journey. Through sharing my knowledge and talent with others, I have found fulfillment in pursuing my dreams of cooking and teaching.

Chef Aaron made my husband’s 30th birthday experience AMAZING! The food blew everyone’s mind, so much so that days later they’re still reaching out about it. Chef Aaron was so easy to work with - extremely professional and flexible. Each plate that came out looked like art and tasted even better. The Bloody Mary bar he created, literally made our guests “oooo and ahhh”. Thank you, Chef Aaron for such a fantastic experience - we cannot wait to have your creations again!

Chef Pryear, Thank you so much for making my birthday truly special with an amazing dining experience! I had an unforgettable time enjoying delicious food, all in the company of wonderful friends. Your talent and hospitality made the day even more memorable, and I am deeply grateful for your part in creating such a fantastic celebration.

Chef Aaron prepared an impeccable meal for my friends bachelorette party. He not only created amazing food but also a lovely atmosphere with a beautiful table scape. The steak was to die for and he accommodated my friends food allergies. I highly recommend and will be calling him again.

Chef Aaron was incredible! I highly recommend him. He prepared everything fresh and even brought micro greens from his own garden. He was super professional and personable.

We had one word for our experience with our Chef….Amazing!!!! Chef Aaron Pryear was the very best. He was the consummate professional in every manner of the experience and still managed to create a very warm and welcoming experience from our first communication. He engaged me quickly, was super responsive from beginning to end, and made sure I was happy with every detail. And then of course our brunch was excellent . Chef made menu recommendations and each selection was incredible. The presentation was more than I expected; he provided a beautiful tablescape for my birthday, complete with flowers. He gave us his professional background and described for us each item he cooked. And of course he left no detail overlooked. My guests now want him to cater their events. We loved our experience with Chef Pryear. You can’t go wrong with him!

Chef Aaron Pryear far exceeded our expectations!!!! It is 2 days since the event and everyone is still raving about our exceptional experience. The food and presentation were 5 Star+++, absolutely fantastic!! He is kind, generous and charming, respectful, talented and knowledgeable. I cannot wait to host another dinner party and book Chef Aaron again! I have done this on other occasions, and the others didn't come close to matching the excellence we experienced. Absolutely perfect in every regard!
