MEET YOUR CHEF
Professional standards. Personal service.
I’m Luke Patton, an Austin-based private chef with a background in the yachting industry, where details, flexibility, and taking care of people are part of the job.
Now I bring that same calm, guest-first approach to dinners and gatherings in Austin. I keep the process direct: understand the occasion, design a menu that fits, and make the food feel like it belongs there.

What are you planning?
Share what you know. If the menu, headcount, or budget is still taking shape, that’s fine.
