Eric + Culinary Misfits

Cooking has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, but it wasn't until 2012 that I turned that passion into a career as a private chef.

Over the years, I've cooked for families, business leaders, vacation groups, athletes, and people celebrating some of life's biggest moments. From intimate dinner parties to weekly meal prep, I've learned that great food isn't about being complicated—it's about creating experiences people remember.

After more than a decade as a private chef, I realized my favorite part of the job wasn't just cooking—it was sharing what I'd learned. That's what Culinary Misfits is all about.

This is where I bring the recipes I actually cook into your kitchen. From elevated dinner party favorites to practical meal prep and everyday comfort food, I want to help people cook food they're excited to eat.

I also love trying restaurants that inspire me to create what I call Doppelbängers—my own take on unforgettable dishes, recreated with everyday ingredients and techniques that anyone can make at home.

Whether you're here to sharpen your skills, find your next favorite recipe, or follow along as I chase great food and turn it into something you can cook yourself, I'm glad you're here.

Welcome to Culinary Misfits. Let's cook something worth talking about.
