Meet Your Chef
Virgil started his career in kitchens in 2010. From humble beginnings in Sacramento, he worked his way up to being a well-respected chef in kitchens across the San Francisco Bay Area. After starting a family in 2016, he pivoted from working in restaurants to focusing on private events and catering. The tech boom of the 2010s created tons of opportunities for networking and diversifying his experience. This offered the flexibility he wanted to both share his passion for food while also prioritizing his family. Cooking classes came naturally to him as he always loved sharing knowledge with new cooks when he worked in restaurants, and teaching people who cook at home was an easy transition.
“When it comes to food, we believe it’s the one element of life we can all connect to. We specialize in what we call ‘California Soul Food’ which celebrates not only the beautiful produce grown in California, but also the different cultures that make this region of the world so unique. Every culture has its own food that reminds you of what it’s like to be at home. We recreate that feeling with our food, our service and put our little California twist on it.” – Chef Virgil

Our cooking competitions are run similarly to our cooking classes but with a fun yet relaxed competitive component. Upon arrival, you will be split up into teams that will compete to make the perfect dish in your cuisine of choice. Our chef will be the judge. You will be judged as a team on presentation, taste, and timing. The winning team will receive a bonus tasting and bragging rights.
