Chef Riley O’dette
Chef At Home In Chicago
Get to know me better
Michelin-trained chef passionate about seasonal ingredients and technical execution
I am a private chef with 10+ years experience in the industry. I’ve worked in both Michelin-starred and James Beard award winning establishments. I have a deep love for cooking with the seasons, using local produce to create experiences that resonate with my clients. Guests will find a lot of myself in my cooking—while I am very serious and detail oriented, I also am very quirky. Don’t be surprised to see pan seared foie gras on top of Sunday morning French toast!
More about me
For me, cooking is...
Bringing people together. Food is a language understood by all. Food isn’t hindered by words. Flavors, smells, and visuals do more than you think.
I learned to cook at...
Elgin Community College, receiving a degree in culinary arts.
A cooking secret...
Taste everything. Ask questions. Never settle for ‘good enough.’
