Everyone’s Hosting Holiday

Dinner Parties at Home.

Are You?

Anything Less
Just Won’t Do.

Why bother with crowded restaurants when the most
exclusive dining experiences now happen at home?

A private chef isn’t just a luxury—it’s the new gold standard
for those who know how to entertain.


This holiday season, elevate your status with a private dining
experience crafted just for you. With every detail handled
seamlessly, all you need to do is enjoy the moment with your
guests and bask in all of their compliments!

Meet the Chef

Meet Chef Mayashi, a culinary talent from Talladega,
Alabama. Growing up in a family that cherished home-
cooked meals, I spent countless hours in the kitchen,
learning from my mother and grandmothers as they
prepared Southern classics. This early passion led me
to pursue a degree in Baking and Pastry from the
Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts.


Now, as the owner of Gourmet Excellence with Chef
Mayashi, I’ve created a space where flavors and
creativity come together. Each dish I prepare reflects
my commitment to quality and my love for cooking,
inspired by the rich traditions of my upbringing.


I see cooking as a way to tell stories—each plate is a
narrative woven with history and innovation. By using
only the finest ingredients and focusing on detail, I aim
to elevate dining to an unforgettable experience. Join
me on this culinary journey at Gourmet Excellence,
where every meal is crafted with care and passion.

Chef Mayashi
