Meet Caleb

I am a professional chef with 8 years of cooking experience in fine dining and Michelin starred restaurants. In 2017, I joined celebrity chef Thomas Keller to cook at his bistro in which opened the opportunity to work at the iconic French Laundry restaurant which is currently rated at 3 Michelin stars. Currently I work as a food designer for celebrity and Michelin chef Curtis Stone.

“Chef Caleb B Hernandez was absolutely incredible. Caleb came on time and had to deal with multiple time changes (surprise dinner and was working around a schedule). This was probably the most delicious and special meal I’ve ever had. I truly could not be more elated with my experience”
Alex D. July 2023
“Chef Caleb was sincerely incredible. We had lost power a few minutes before his arrival, but he had such a great attitude and assured us it was no big deal. The power being out did not stop Chef from playing the most beautiful and delicious courses for us and our guests. We can’t wait to book Chef Caleb for our next event.”
Paige Y. July 2023
