Meet the Chef + Owner Perry Pollaci
With over 25 years of experience in the kitchen, I specialize in delivering personalized, upscale dining experiences. From intimate dinner parties to tailored weekly meal prep, I focus on creating dishes that not only meet but exceed expectations. My goal is to bring gourmet meals directly to your table, using only the freshest, seasonal ingredients to craft culinary memories.
My Culinary Philosophy
I believe that cooking is more than just preparing food; it’s an experience that connects us with one another. Every dish I create is made from scratch using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, ensuring the highest quality and flavor. I take pride in crafting personalized menus that reflect your unique tastes and preferences, whether it’s for a cozy dinner party or a week of thoughtfully prepared meals. Your satisfaction is my top priority, and I’m excited share this culinary journey with you!
Outside The Kitchen
In addition to my love of being a chef, I have two beautiful boys who fill my life with energy and humor every day. I also have a dog (named Cat) and a cat (named Handsome Man). As a musician, I’ve recorded my first EP, which you can listen to below. My CrossFit journey has been incredible. I couldn’t do a pull-up until I was 40, but today I’ve participated in several half marathons, CrossFit competitions, and various outdoor obstacle course events.
