Chef Brian Duncan in his kitchen

Good food brings people together.

MEET CHEF BRIAN DUNCAN

My love of cooking began with homemade pizza nights at Baylor University. What started as dinner for a few friends grew into a table of twenty—and showed me how memorable food can bring people together.

That curiosity led me to New York City in 2011, where I trained at the Institute of Culinary Education. I worked in a Manhattan trattoria while studying, then continued my craft in a Michelin-starred Italian kitchen.

Today, I bring that foundation and more than 12 years of executive chef experience to private homes and celebrations in Houston. My approach is personal: thoughtful ingredients, balanced flavors and menus that reflect the people at the table.

A chef’s craft. A host’s care.

Whether I’m preparing meals around your family’s routine or cooking for a special evening, I want you to feel well cared for. I’ll listen to your preferences, discuss dietary needs and build an experience that feels right for you.

Houston is home, where I share life with my wife, Rachel, and our three children. The joy of gathering around a table continues to shape the way I cook.
