Crafting Seasonal Menus Just for You

About Us

Chef Scott Sanders
For more than 15 years, Chef Scott has cooked across the West Coast in roles as varied as grill cook at Morton’s in Los Angeles, team chef for the Seattle Thunderbirds, and executive chef of Showare Center. He has also crafted intimate experiences as a private chef and instructor in Seattle, tailoring meals to everything from small gatherings to events for hundreds. Scott’s passion lies in celebrating the bounty of the Pacific Northwest, combining fresh, local ingredients with approachable hospitality that makes every guest feel at home.
Chef Thalia Hippolyta
With eight years of pastry experience in Seattle, Chef Thalia brings a balance of precision and artistry to the team. From large-scale donut production to the refined elegance of Canlis, and now as pastry chef for one of the city’s speakeasies, she has honed her craft across diverse kitchens. Born and raised in Saudi Arabia before moving to the U.S. to finish her studies, Thalia brings a global perspective and a love of flavor that make her desserts and creations unforgettable.
Chef Kevin Sablynski
Seattle-born and Bay Area–raised, Chef Kevin has spent the last four years immersed in the city’s dynamic food scene, from bustling brunch services to refined fine dining. A graduate of the University of Washington, he sees food as a powerful connector—bringing people together both in the kitchen and around the table. With a passion for community and creativity, Kevin brings fresh energy, technical skill, and enthusiasm to every event.
Chef Caroline Millet
With more than two decades of experience, Chef Caroline brings both culinary mastery and event expertise to the team. A Le Cordon Bleu graduate, she has cooked in Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle as a caterer, instructor, and chef of bistros and wine bars. Growing up Vietnamese in Minnesota shaped her adventurous palate and deep appreciation for fusion cuisine, seafood, and small plates designed for wine pairing. In addition to her culinary work, Caroline has managed private and corporate events for groups ranging from 10 to hundreds, blending creativity and organization to craft seamless experiences.
As a team, Kevin, Thalia, Scott, and Caroline bring over 50 years of combined experience, spanning fine dining, pastry artistry, private events, and large-scale productions. With diverse backgrounds and unique culinary perspectives, they share one philosophy: no two events—or menus—should ever be the same. By blending creativity, cultural influences, and a deep love of Pacific Northwest ingredients, they create one-of-a-kind dining experiences that reflect the uniqueness of every client they serve.
