I create creative, fun, full-course dining experiences rooted in fresh local ingredients and inspired by French technique and Southern flavors.

Kyle Billman

I bring French technique, Southern soul, and local ingredients to your table.

I’ve been cooking professionally for over 20 years, and food has always been my true passion. I grew up in a small country town in Oregon, picking vegetables from our garden and catching salmon with my father—those early experiences shaped how I cook and why I value ingredient-driven dishes.

After spending the last 17 years living in Florida, Southern cuisine became a big part of my life. I’ve worked in Michelin-starred French fusion, classic French bistros, and American-style grills, and traveling and cooking alongside people from around the world has pushed me to keep my menus creative, thoughtful, and memorable.

Sonia Poirier

We had an incredible experience with our private chef for a bachelorette dinner! Communication was amazing from start to finish, and he arrived early and fully prepared. He was just the right amount of talkative. The food presentation was beautiful, and every dish was absolutely delicious. He left the kitchen spotless afterward, which we so appreciated. He worked alongside his son, who was our bartender for the evening, and he was fantastic as well! Highly recommend the chef — or the duo if you’re looking for a great bartender too.
