Chef Sergio Gamboa Mr.
Private Chef In Forest ParkGet to know me better
My favorite part about this job is when I finish executing a beautiful dinner and get to know the guests over a glass of wine.
My name is Sergio Gamboa and I am a chef. I have worked under amazing chefs at Michelin level restaurants and have done events for hundreds of people. I love working with local produce to showcase what delicious fruits or veggies the seasons offer. At the end of the day, I want to show you something new and tasty, and have some fun while doing so.
More about me
For me, cooking is...
Everything. It brings friends and family closer, especially when the food is deliciously unforgettable.
I learned to cook at...
Illinois Institute of Art - Chicago
A cooking secret...
Don't over complicate it.
