So, that's the autogenerated version of me from when I built the site. I'm not sure that I'm a leading voice in anything but the rest kind of works so I left it. Let's expand on it a little bit though:

What I am: a classically trained chef with 40 years of wide ranging experience. I've worked in pizzerias, small and large restaurants, as a private chef, instructor and I've sold seafood. I'm well versed in most dietary trends and can work with you to build a menu that suits your needs.

What I'm not: a registered dietician or nutritionist. I can't advise you as to what sort of diet you should be on, honestly most of my advice on anything is probably kind of suspect, but if you tell me the diet you are on I can prepare food to suit.

Why "Your Fit Chef"? Don't let the name fool you, I'll make you any kind of food you want. My intention, though, was to convey both my ability to provide you healthier meal options and also the fact that I practice a healthy lifestyle myself. Don't get me wrong, every Friday I have a steak that has to weigh at least a pound and drink a bottle of wine but the rest of the week I keep it pretty clean. I also run ultra marathons so... yeah.

How it works: Every Friday I update the menu on the site for the following week. Currently I rotate through about 10 different ones so in any given year you won't see the same thing more than 5 times. You can order directly through the site or text me; I encourage texting so we can customize more easily. Orders should be placed no later than Sunday morning so I have time to shop and start prepping. We can determine what delivery schedule works best for you based on the amount you order and your needs, but generally deliveries start Monday afternoon and run through the week. Payments through Venmo and Zelle are preferred so I can apply any discounts that may be applicable.

I can also provide meals packed family style for 4 or more people and work from diets and meal plans provided by doctors, nutritionists and personal trainers.

If you have any questions on this service or catered events, please feel free to email or text me.
