The mastermind behind these extravagant events is Chef Calvin Rouse, whose incomparable experience in the food world makes him uniquely suited to coordinate unforgettable evenings around the table.
Chef Calvin’s culinary portfolio includes work as a private chef, a behind-the-scenes tastemaker, even a recipe writer for some of the food world’s brightest stars. A hard worker for all his life, Chef Calvin put in countless hours developing dishes and catering free events, paying his dues and unlocking amazing opportunities along the way.
