About Our
Chef Mel
I’m Chef Mel — a Texas-based private chef with 8 years of experience designing discreet, high-touch dining experiences for private households, corporate teams, and destination retreats across the U.S.
Originally from California, I’ve lived and cooked in culinary-rich cities like Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and the DMV area — experiences that have shaped both my palate and my approach to hospitality. In 2019, I was honored to work in the James Beard Foundation kitchen for Women’s History Month — a milestone that deepened my commitment to excellence and creative expression.
My culinary style is globally inspired and entirely tailored — blending a deep respect for classic technique with the flexibility to meet your preferences, dietary needs, and schedule. From modern Mediterranean to refined comfort dishes, every menu is created from scratch to reflect your lifestyle and occasion.
Clients trust me for more than just the food — they value the quiet precision I bring to every detail: curated menus, plating that enhances the moment, and table settings that elevate the entire atmosphere. My role is to make dining effortless for you — whether that’s for an intimate gathering, a multi-day stay, or executive hosting.
