Meet our Executive Chef, Erik Schuster – a true pioneer in the world of fine dining. With over two decades of experience in the culinary industry, Chef Erik's journey began in the heart of the midwest, where he obtained his Culinary Arts degree and honed his skills in some of the finest restaurants in the region.

His talent and hard work soon caught the attention of the prestigious Ritz Carlton in St. Louis, where he began his ascent to culinary greatness. As Chef De Cuisine at the Ritz Carlton Pasadena, Los Angeles, he showcased his flair for both large-scale events and intimate dining experiences, earning rave reviews and multiple accolades in industry publications.
 

His reputation as a culinary virtuoso led him to CBS Studio Center, where he served as the Executive Chef, overseeing the corporate dining culinary program. With his passion for sustainable, local, and organic ingredients, Chef Erik's talents were sought after by The Butcher's Daughter in West Hollywood, where he served as the R&D Chef and focused on vegan cuisine.

A true visionary in menu creation, Chef Erik believes in reimagining the culinary experience, not reinventing it. With a passion for blending traditional flavors with modern twists and techniques, he creates unforgettable experiences for every event he caters.

When he's not creating culinary magic in the kitchen, Chef Erik enjoys spending time with his loved ones, including his wife, son, and loyal Boston terrier. An avid skier and beachgoer, he also finds joy in brewing his own beer and crafting artisanal sourdough bread. With Chef Erik at the helm, every meal is a work of art that delights the senses and nourishes the soul.
