Meet Chef Ezra
After managing restaurants for years, watching the same thing happen over and over, I couldn’t take it anymore.
Milestone moments… where the “special” meal is basically the same thing 50 other people are getting that night.
And I thought: “These people deserve so much better than this.”
That’s not acceptable. Not to me.
So I took everything I learned from kitchen mastery, management expertise, operational systems and built something different. Something that doesn’t compromise. Something that treats your celebration like the once-in-a-lifetime moment it actually is.
Chef Me Please exists for one reason: Because your most important moments deserve more than “fine.”
More Than Just a Chef
After the Navy, I didn’t just learn to cook. I worked my way through literally every position in the restaurant industry.
Line cook scraping by on minimum wage? Been there. Pastry chef measuring ingredients at 4am? Done that. General Manager responsible for million-dollar operations? Lived it.
I didn’t skip steps. I didn’t take shortcuts. I earned every position the hard way—because that’s the only way to truly master something.
So when you hire me, you’re not just getting a chef who can cook. You’re getting someone who:
- Has served their country and understands duty
- Has worked breakfast rush, lunch chaos, and dinner service hell
- Has managed kitchens, bars, dining rooms, and entire restaurants
- Has cooked Italian, Asian, American, fine dining-you name it
- Actually gives a damn about your event being perfect
