Join me at the
Sheldon Chalet
I’ve recently brought my love for food up to this beautiful chalet located right on Denali in the middle of Alaska. Denali is the tallest mountain in North America. The Sheldon Chalet, located about a third of the way up in a massive amphitheater of mountains, has five rooms and the guests are flown in and out of the small town of Talkeetna by helicopter. I get the Luxury of preparing the entire menu for the extent of their stay.
The guests get to walk into a towering display of Alaska’s freshest seafood accompanied by my favorite preparations. From there I get to serve course after course, filling their bellies over and over while sharing stories and sipping on fine wine, sake, or any other desired cocktails or spirits.
I Know People.
From sourcing to labor, it often takes a village to make your events exactly what you dream. Our community has some serious talent who I’m proud to work with and promote!

Here’s What Your Neighbors Have to Say
“Amazing food and Chef. Personal chef daily while we were on a 2-week vacation. Simply amazing. We went and did what we wanted and returned to 3 healthy and amazing food dishes daily. What a way to travel.”
Lisa R.
“The su jets which was a red sauce some crushed tomatoes and some pepperoni and sausage. Didn’t think that combination would bring a rich soup together but WOW. The homemade gnocchi was yummy and fluffy. It made my stomach feel warm like I’d been getting over a cold and I had a delicious hot soup and reminded me of sitting by a warm toasty fire.”
