Hire Professional Chefs in Hamilton, Ontario

I am Dylan! My career spans over a decade working in private settings and professional kitchens. My approach to food is all about letting great ingredients speak for themselves. I’ve trained under some incredible chefs, including time in Michelin-level kitchens, and I’ve led both high-volume services and intimate tasting menus. My style leans toward bold, seasonal flavors with a sense of balance and restraint — never overcomplicated, always thoughtful. I have a deep and growing love for versatility and boundary free cooking, with in-depth experience in seafood, Italian, and Asian-fusion cuisines, but I love exploring any ingredient or tradition that sparks curiosity. Whether I’m cooking a relaxed family-style meal or a more refined multi-course dinner, I care most about creating food that feels honest, a little unexpected, and deeply satisfying. My lifestyle reflects a healthy attitude and relationship with food and fitness. I strive for nutritional excellence and maximum flavour in my own diet. I am confident to cook plant based, gluten or dairy free, and am skilled in navigating allergens in day to day dining. I approach each dish with humility and have a deep understanding of discretion and professionalism in each setting I find myself in. Based in the Hamilton area- full time availability with a willingness to commute, I am eager to execute your culinary dreams!
