Sonny Hurrell

The celebrity chef’s cooking journey began in Sonoma County, California at 16 years old. He worked his way through many kitchens focusing on very local and seasonal styles of cooking.

At 21 years old, Sonny decided to leave the world of cooking for a two-year intensive study of organic agriculture, studying at Emerson College in the UK. There, he also worked on many farms across Europe because it was important for him to see and understand where our food was coming from. Upon completing his studies, he returned to the busy pace of restaurant life working in the Netherlands at several fine dining restaurants.

Sonny returned to the US in 2014 for a saucier position at the Viceroy Hotel in Snowmass Village. Since then, Sonny has thrived full-time in private cooking and catering in Aspen.

Bringing his delicious recipes to social media, this TikTok Chef shares his Dinner Party Master tips and tricks to over 76% women in just two months.
