Meet the Chalet Chef
From pizza shop beginnings to culinary excellence, my journey has been anything but ordinary. At 15, my mom’s cunning plan, disguised as taking me out for pizza, landed me my first job at a local pizza shop, sparking my passion for cooking. High school saw me mastering the art of pizza, leading to culinary school and an eye-opening externship at Pinehurst, NC. I became a jack-of-all-trades, from breakfast buffets to gourmet dining, even honing my ice carving skills.
At 25, I took on the role of executive chef at a catering company with one of the owners of the same pizza shop where my culinary experience began. After years of hard work and tremendous growth at the catering company, life took me to Knoxville, TN, where I rose from Sous Chef to Executive Chef at Club LeConte, then led culinary teams at the Hilton and Crowne Plaza.
A ski trip to Park City, UT, revealed my true calling: becoming a private chef in this picturesque locale. Each chapter of my journey has been a thrilling culinary adventure, shaping the chef I am today.

Amazing Taste
The Chalet Chef, Jerry, is simply the best!! If you’re thinking of hiring him … do it!! He prepared one of the best meals my family has ever had in celebration of my dad’s 75th birthday. An amazing evening!

Traditions Preserved
“I can’t recommend Chef Jerry, The Chalet Chef, highly enough! After some online research, I decided to go with him based on his beautiful website and positive reviews. I hadn’t tasted his food yet but just got a good vibe! And he exceeded our expectations! We had a group of 12 people celebrating my elopement in Park City and each course was better than the last. He was easy to work with, quick to reply to emails, professional, friendly, and paced the dinner perfectly – not too slow, not too rushed. He explained each course and left the kitchen totally spotless after. He brought a lovely tablescape, all of the tableware, and kept the water filled all night. I don’t know how he does it ALL himself but he did! And the pricing is totally up-front and you don’t get stuck with any “surprises” at the end. We loved every minute of the experience. Highly recommend his short ribs! Great night!

Sustainably Farmed
Chef Jerry, The Chalet Chef, cooked for us (8 people/late February) for my wife’s 50th birthday. He was easy to work with in advance, was prompt on arrival in our rental property, Worked quietly behind the scenes with ease and produced an absolutely fantastic meal. The butternut squash soup and duck were Michelin star quality.
He worked around our schedule perfectly. And when done, the kitchen was spotless. Absolutely everything you want in an evening with a private chef.
Could not recommend Jerry enough.
