Chef Freddie Williams

Private Chef In Houston

Born and raised in Memphis, TN, Chef Freddie now calls Houston, TX home, having made stops in New Orleans along the way. The origins of his roots stem from a small, quiet town called Oakland, MS, where his familial ties to southern cooking sparked his culinary dreams. Since then, Freddie has developed a passion for intertwining or connecting his culinary roots to various other cuisines. Through his journey as executive chef, Freddie's love for preparing food and serving people has translated into providing guests with excellent dining experiences.

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is therapy. It is an escape from the nuances and chaos of daily life, where I am allowed to showcase my passions for serving others.

I learned to cook at...

I have developed my culinary skills for various chefs and cooks through many different kitchens from my roots in Memphis, TN to New Orleans, LA.

A cooking secret...

I always select the freshest and most flavorful ingredients and prepare them with precision and care, while elegantly presenting them.
