Chef Ed Renken

I’ve worked as a private chef in the Charleston area since 2018, serving over 800 clients across everything from lively bachelorette parties to intimate, elegant dinner events. Born and raised in Charleston, my cooking is deeply rooted in Southern tradition — I spotlight local, seasonal ingredients and the region’s bold flavors.

I’m equally comfortable with other cuisines and have a particular passion for Italian and Caribbean food, which I often weave into bespoke menus tailored to each client and occasion. I take pride in thoughtful menu design, warm service, and sourcing the freshest ingredients whenever possible.
