Meet the Chef
Hello! I'm John, the heart and hands behind The Butter Bar. From a young age, I discovered that food was more than just sustenance—it was a way to connect, celebrate, and create joy. That passion led me on a culinary journey to hone my craft and master the art of flavor.
There is a popular belief in the Army that new Second Lieutenants are always lost. Lost when trying to lead a platoon, lost on how to perform certain military tactics, or even lost trying to find their way home from work. These Second Lieutenants are known as "Butter Bars," a name derived from the appearance of the rank on their uniform. This mentality also pertains to people new to cooking. New cooks often feel lost navigating around the kitchen and often don't know where to start. Whether you are new to meal prepping, healthy eating, culinary techniques, or cooking in general, let's help you break the stigma of being a culinary "Butter Bar."
My mission is to bring the luxury and comfort of a personal chef experience into your home. I believe in using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients to create dishes that are both delicious and memorable. Whether it's a multi-course dinner party or a week of healthy prepared meals, my commitment is to provide impeccable service and unforgettable food.
