With over 25 years experience creating menus and cooking fantastic meals, Chef David Wolfe has a reputation for bold flavors and fresh ingredients that give pizzazz to classic American favorites. He loves that his food is hard to categorize. His biggest inspiration is the many ethnic flavors surrounding us.

Before moving to Houston, David worked in some of Los Angeles’ best restaurants, including two of his own. He was one of the first restaurant chefs of the farm-to-table movement, befriending many farmers. Fresh fish is also a staple of David’s menus and famed sushi chef Kazunori Nozawa was an important early mentor. His restaurants have received extensive media recognition including being named a Top Ten New Restaurant in L.A.

David launched a take-out café for Whole Foods designed to show off cooking with local plant-based ingredients. His pop-up restaurants in art galleries and repurposed sites brought him clients as adventurous as he is—and many have become lifelong friends. After he met Karen, he catered a movie premier she was managing. The feast for 700 people was so good, she married him! They have two awesome kids who love to cook, too.
