Hello! I’m Sam, a professional chef with nearly 20 years of experience cooking up and down the East Coast. My career has taken me from Boston to the James Beard House in New York City, from Nantucket Island to Charleston, South Carolina.

I’m deeply passionate about thoughtful, refined cooking rooted in locally sourced, handmade ingredients and executed with the highest level of care and quality.

After many years on the line, I’ve recently moved to the Greensboro area and am excited to share my love of exceptional food and genuine hospitality with you. Whether it’s an intimate fine-dining experience or a laid-back cookout, I’d be honored to take care of the cooking and create something memorable

For me, cooking is...

A story of the ingredients. Sourcing fresh and local ingredients within season is what makes all the difference.

I’ve been lucky enough to work at many wonderful restaurants with some extremely talented Chefs along the way. Lets chat about it.

A cooking secret...

No secrets here—just different tricks and techniques you learn in kitchens along the way. If we book a party, I’m an open book. Ask away.

We loved having Sam cook for us! His dishes were amazing and hearing about his experiences as a chef up and down the east coast was so fun. This was the perfect birthday gift for my husband and we cannot wait to do it again!!

Sam was amazing!! This was our first time hiring a private chef, and it exceeded our expectations! We hired Sam for a dinner party for my husband’s birthday but we also had two 3 year olds and a 1 year old as part of our group. He made it so easy and accommodated the kids with a “special” Mac and cheese that was a hit, and was totally fine with the chaos of having littles as dinner guests. :-) Sam’s food was amazing and beautifully done. Each dish was unique and thoughtfully inspired, and we enjoyed learning about the background of each one as well as techniques he applied from his amazing professional chef background (at some incredible renowned restaurants!). He made an amazing gluten free almond cake dressed with a delicious lemon curd with sliced almonds and even added candles to bring out for my husband’s birthday! ???? An extra bonus - we have a lot of leftovers as Sam was super generous with the portions, so looking forward to enjoying those! He even left us the extra homemade ricotta! And of course, it was so nice for the evening to be wrapped up with a clean kitchen! We are already trying to think of other occasions to invite Sam back for! ???? recommend having Sam for your dining event!!
