About Chef Peter
Born and raised in Berkeley in the shadow of Chez Panisse, Chef Peter has been a chef for more than 30 years and says he’s been “into food my whole life.” He began working in both French and New Orleans style restaurants (including the former Miss Pearl’s in Jack London) where he became familiar with Louisiana cooking and developed a love for Cajun-style meats. After working his way up to head chef positions at several local restaurants and opening both Canvas in Montclair and Toast in Rockridge, he transitioned to being a private chef.
