With over three decades of culinary experience, Chris Brugler has established a distinguished reputation for delivering refined cuisine, seamless execution, and an uncompromising level of service. His background as a private chef throughout California laid the foundation for a career defined by precision, consistency, and elevated hospitality.

In 2006, he founded Chris Brugler Catering, which has grown into one of Los Angeles’ premier luxury catering companies. The brand has been entrusted with events for an elite roster of clients including Rihanna, The Weeknd, Disney, Guess, Valentino, Volkswagen, Sony, Netflix, Cartier, and Tory Burch reflecting a consistent standard of excellence at the highest level of production and service.

Throughout his career, Chris has led the execution of large scale private events across Los Angeles, Montecito, Palm Springs, Temecula and San Diego, often overseeing multiple high profile productions simultaneously.
