Chef David Hodge
Chef At Home in Chandler
Get to know me better
Detail-driven private chef focused on bold flavor, clean presentation, and a memorable dining experience.
I was raised in New York City by parents of Caribbean and Hispanic descent from the Dominican Republic, where food was always a central part of family and culture. Being exposed to both styles early on shaped the way I approach cooking today—bold, balanced flavors with a strong sense of tradition behind them.
As a former restaurant owner, I bring a professional, detail-driven approach to every experience. My focus goes beyond just the food—I pay close attention to presentation, timing, and overall atmosphere to create a dining experience that feels seamless and elevated.
Through Ember & Grace, I offer private dining experiences that blend comfort, culture, and refinement, delivering restaurant-quality cuisine in a more personal setting.
