Chef Consultant: Turning Your Vision into Profit
With over 20 years of experience in the culinary world, I’m here to help your restaurant succeed by avoiding the mistakes I made. I’ve walked in your shoes—opening and operating two of my own restaurants, Cast Iron Soul and Smokin Skillet. I did everything wrong when it came to efficiency and profitability, but that’s exactly why I now know how to do everything right. I’ve learned the hard lessons so you don’t have to.

Here’s what I can do for your restaurant:

• Menu & Recipe Development: Whether you need to tweak your menu or develop new dishes, I’ll work with you to bring your culinary vision to life while keeping it profitable and efficient.

• Kitchen Efficiency: I’ll set up systems that streamline production, reduce waste, and ensure consistency. With these in place, your kitchen runs smoothly, saving you time and money.

• Staff Training: I’ll train your staff to execute dishes and systems with precision, giving you peace of mind and reducing the need for constant oversight.

• Concept Creation: Launching a new concept? I’ll create everything from custom menus to operational systems, ensuring your start-up hits the ground running.

Most importantly, by implementing these systems and creating your "Kitchen Bible™", you’ll gain more freedom as an owner. Instead of being tied to the kitchen every day, you’ll be able to trust that your staff is well-trained, operations are consistent, and your restaurant can thrive—even on your day off.

My consulting work for restaurants like The Anchor Spa, Bomb Wings,Jazzy’s Cabaret,and Woody’s Wings has proven my ability to turn concepts into profitable realities. I know firsthand what doesn’t work, and I’ve built a career on turning those lessons into success for my clients.

Let’s elevate your restaurant together. Whether you want to refine your current menu or launch a new concept, I’m here to help you avoid the pitfalls, create a smooth-running kitchen, and maybe even give you the freedom to take a well-deserved break.
