• Charcuterie

Chef Brian Santiago cultivates connections within DFW and beyond through food and personal chef services; my goal is to build direct relationships between you and your local farmers, butchers, and artisans while making an impact in our local food economy.

When he's not in your kitchen, you can find him with his nose in a book, managing the Clearfork Farmers Market on Saturdays, or feeding the butchery students (or more likely playing with the chickens) on Crunchy Mama Farms.

Let's bring your vision to life and make your next event extra special together! With Chef Brian's creative flair, your special occasion will be elevated by exciting cuisine, helping you create unforgettable memories.

✨ Here’s what guests have to say ✨

  • ✨ Tonjia C. ✨

    “I don’t think there are enough stars in the world to rate Brian, I would give him a million 🌟!!!!!!! Brian created a customized Tex Mex dining experience for my family and the dip bar was the best dips I ever had in my life. The tortilla soup was heaven and the elotes are still in my dreams. We were so stuffed we all took a nap between course 4 and 5 and happily came back for more! Everything was fresh and what we loved was there was a story behind each course. I think we had 8 courses that day! We ate for at least 3-4 hours! The greatest part of the experience was Brian himself. ❤️🙏🏽 Brian brought our family together - 6 people, 3 generations, 3 states - in ways that we had not been in so many years over food and LOVE. I could feel the love that he has for what he does and for people! He is an authentic and genuine soul and a master chef! He’s already booked with me 3 more times! Thank you Brian for sharing your gifts with us. 🙏🏽”

Any “challenges” I’ve given him felt more like fun adventures; he truly loves meeting his clients’ needs and exceeding their expectations every time.”

    “...Hiring Chef Brian Santiago for prep, food preparation, and clean up was one of the best decisions I could have made & the event went so smoothly.
