Duskie Estes

Celebrity chef for hire Duskie Estes is a beloved Food Network personality who rose to fame as a contestant on Food Network’s Next Big Star season 3 and season 5. She is currently a judge on Guy’s Grocery Games. Based in Sonoma County, California, Duskie and her husband John own and operate ZAZU kitchen + farm which has garnered numerous awards as one of the top restaurants in the Bay Area. Duskie fully embraces the farm to table and snout-to-tail approach in the kitchen as she sources all produce and meats for her restaurant from her own farm and garden. Her cooking style is simple yet flavorful, allowing the ingredients to shine for what they are in each dish.

Duskie will tell you she first fell in love with cooking at the age of 5 using her trusty EZ-Bake Oven. As she grew older, she couldn’t get enough of the restaurant life and began working in restaurants around the U.S. including Palace Kitchen in Seattle. While at Palace, Duskie was named Seattle Best Chef by City Search in 2000 and Gourmet Magazine ranked the Palace as one of the top 5 restaurants in Seattle and one of the top 50 restaurants in the country. In 2001, she helped co-author the James Beard Award-winning cookbook Seattle Kitchen with chef Tom Douglas.

Later in 2001, Duskie and her husband decided it was time to open up their own culinary venture and developed the concept for ZAZU. Since the grand opening, ZAZU has offered guests a seasonal menu that is focused on locally sourced produce and a variety of different cuts of meats. Duskie’s snout-to-tail approach includes saving kitchen scraps to feed the farm animals. In 2009, Duskie and John were given the Rising Star Chefs Award for Sustainability. ZAZU has also been included in the San Francisco Michelin Guide every year since 2008.

When she is not in the garden or the kitchen, Duskie travels the country for celebrity chef appearances at local food & wine festivals, trade shows and other special events. Duskie is available for cooking demonstrations as well as celebrity chef speaking engagements in which she can share her thoughts on food sustainability, her own farm to table and snout-to-tail approach, and her experiences as a celebrity chef on TV and in her own award-winning restaurant.

Daniel Patterson

Celebrity Chef for hire Daniel Patterson is a trendsetter in modern Californian cuisine. He is a celebrated, James Beard Award winning chef, restaurateur and food writer who has opened a number of successful restaurants in the San Francisco area. Today, he’s left the high end, fine dining food scene behind to open his own unique fast-food chain with fellow celebrity chef speaker Roy Choi called Loco’l.

Daniel grew up on the east coast in Massachusetts and is completely self-taught in the kitchen. He moved to Sonoma, California and opened his first restaurant Babette’s in 1994 at age 25. The French-inspired restaurant was open for 5 years before Daniel shifted his focus and opened another restaurant called Elizabeth Daniel in 2000. Both restaurants were heralded as foodie hot spots in the California food scene and it wasn’t long before Daniel had become one of the top celebrity chefs on the West Coast.

Daniel opened Coi in San Francisco in 2006. The restaurant featured haute cuisine with an emphasis on local ingredients and a more personal dining experience. Coi earned 2 Michelin Stars and was one of few restaurants to earn 4 stars from the San Francisco Chronicle. He now owns and operates several restaurants in the Oakland area called Plum Bar and Haven. Daniel has also become a quite popular food writer who has shared his comments on the culinary industry in columns for major publications such as Food & Wine Magazine, The New York Times and San Francisco Magazine.

What’s so great about Celebrity Chef Daniel is his commitment to the dining experience and satisfaction of those he feeds. It’s the reason why he chose to leave the high dollar food scene behind and get back to his ultimate goal of positively impacting as many people as possible through his food and the dining experience. And it’s working! Loco’l now has 2 locations in Oakland and San Francisco serving up great food at an affordable price.
