Butter + Salt

Full Service Private Chef & Catering Company
We believe that food is an expression of art, a warm hug and a deep connection to memory. Our goal is to craft menus and events that create a conversation, evoke a memory and make a long-lasting impression. From setting the table with linens, printed menus and flowers to executing a five-course chef’s tasting, we craft and execute a complete culinary experience whether it’s for two guests or 500 guests. Where our food comes from and how it is grown is important to us. It affects not only the caliber of our work, it affects our environment; so we grow as much as we can from local growers.
