I have worked on a guest ranch and at an award-winning restaurant during my 10-plus years in the industry. Starting off as a pastry chef I made the transition to

I originally went to culinary school for baking and pastry and moved into savory on the job.

What Guests Say

Chef Charlie was amazing! The conversation, the communication, the taste, the appearance. It was just my wife and I for her 30th and our 7 year old son and she went above and beyond!

Jen Kern

Charlene was fantastic. She presented a few different ideas, and communicated throughout the process, even modifying the menu to cater to our needs. We had a nut allergy and 2 vegetarian guests joining us - and everyone loved her menu and food. Presented well, communicated via text and phone calls, she was an excellent choice. We had 26 total adults - and she received positive reviews from all. We were delighted to have her and she was professional and polite throughout the entire process and evening.
