Chef Brian Krause Krause

I’m a professional chef and hospitality leader with a career that has taken me through some of the country’s most exciting kitchens, resorts, casinos, and hospitality destinations. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to work with culinary icons like Gordon Ramsay and Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, as well as prepare meals for guests including members of the Jenner/Kardashian family and Steve Carell.

My experience spans Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, Hard Rock Casino, Golden Nugget, resorts, restaurants, and high-volume operations. I’ve worked my way through the kitchen from Cook to Sous Chef and Executive Chef, and spent time as a traveling culinary consultant, helping restaurants across the country improve their operations, develop menus, build teams, and solve whatever challenges came through the door.

I bring that same versatility and attention to detail into private dining. I love creating menus that feel personal, whether that means an elegant multi-course dinner, a relaxed family-style meal, an impressive celebration, or thoughtful vegetarian cuisine. I’m comfortable with everything from menu development and culinary R&D to sourcing, food cost management, presentation, service, and making sure the kitchen looks better than I found it.

Most importantly, I believe private dining should feel personal and welcoming. I want to get to know what you and your guests enjoy, build a menu around the occasion, and take care of the details so you can relax and enjoy your time together.

For me, cooking has always been about more than the food. It’s about creating an experience, bringing people together, and giving guests something they’ll remember long after the last plate is cleared.
