Chef Clayton Henson
Personal Chef In AustinGet to know me better
Ratatouille changed my life forever, and now here I am 6 years down the line creating gorgeous food for amazing people.
I am a local Austinite who has sought after some fantastic minds to work and grow under in the food industry. Having grown up in the service industry, food has been the center of my life the whole way through. Every party, the food is the center of the attention the second the plates hit the table. It's a special moment both for the guests and for the host, and an art form I've grown to fall in love with. Food can tell a story, from a childhood recipe you haven't tasted in years, to a conceptual dish that challenges you to explore the different parts of your palate you otherwise may not have explored, food can be the centerpiece for an amazing gathering or the focal point for an amazing story. So whether it's a simple family style, farm-to-table dinner for you and your loved ones, or an exquisite, catered tasting menu, I simply love to cook.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
Fun! If you ask me "What is cooking?", my answer will always be that it's both dance and art in one medium. Movement, heat, color, passion. It's love.
I learned to cook at...
I've worked in a few notable places, one being the Four Seasons hotel. Though I have found my comfort working in a Southern Scratch Kitchen.
A cooking secret...
Is to have fun with it! Providing a good "dinner and a show" is not an easy feat, but man is it invigorating! Cook good food, and laugh a lot!
