Chef Decardios Denson
Private Chef In Houston
I grew up cooking with my grandmother and later on in my career started working in professional kitchens. Going from state to state every two years I learned how to cook different cuisines.
After working as the Executive Sous Chef for the Indianapolis Colts, I decided to start my own catering business.
I have worked with all types of clients from celebrities to political parties. No event is to big or too small.

More about me
For me, cooking is...
To see the reactions people get when they taste my food for the first time.
I learned to cook at...
I learned how to cook from my grandmother and traveling around the world. I also traveled state to state to cook different cuisines.
A cooking secret...
Love what you cook even when you mess up
