Elgin was incredible! I had my bachelorette in Miami and wanted to host a private dinner with the girls and Elgin exceeded our expectations. Communication was great from the start and he had a wide variety of food to choose. He even worked with me to create a custom dessert! Elgin went above and beyond with presentation and taste. He didn’t skimp out on the food either. 1000% worth the amount we paid for. He was warm, inviting, and professional. I highly recommend booking him for your event!

About
I am Elgin, a professional chef based in Hollywood, Florida. I excel in crafting exquisite meals for private gatherings, dinners, and special events. Showcasing 19 years of culinary experience, I possess the skill and professionalism required to ensure the success of any occasion. My journey began at Loews Miami Beach Hotel in 2005, under the tutelage of Chef Mark Erler. It was a privilege to work in a distinguished hotel where the Food Network held its annual Food and Wine festival tribute dinner. After moving back to my home state of Maryland, I joined the team at Chef Jean Georges Steakhouse at the W Hotel DC, working for several years under Chef Phillip. My path then led me to the St Regis Bal Harbour Hotel, where I continued at the Jean George Grill restaurant. My dedication soon earned me a promotion to Culinary Supervisor at the St Regis, along with The Astor Award for that quarter. I also had the honor of representing St Regis Bal Harbour as a nominee for Culinarian of the Year at The 25th Annual Inn Key Awards by the Greater Miami & the Beaches Hotel Association. My focus and drive have always been centered in the kitchen.
Through perseverance and passion, I am now ready to offer my expertise to a wider audience. I seek clients who desire the ideal chef to render their event unforgettable. If you are in search of a chef who can transform your evening into an unparalleled experience, look no further.
Having honed my skills in upscale restaurants, I am confident in my ability to make your event an occasion to remember. My meticulous attention to detail and fervor for culinary arts assure that I will surpass your expectations. Feel free to reach out if you wish to discuss hiring me as your event chef.
Additional booking notes
Dinner parties typically take place at night, necessitating discussions on the appropriate lighting for the food area. Specifying whether the setting is indoors, or outdoors is crucial.
