About Me

Hello my name is Chef Logan and I would love to bring my passion for delicious, seasonal food and exceptional service to your next dinner party or event!
~
I was born & raised in beautiful San Diego, California, where my passion for cooking took hold from a young age.
~
I have over a decade of extensive experience working in some of the City’s best Farm-To-Table restaurants. My career started at DBar in Hillcrest working under Celebrity Chef and former Food Network Challenge Host Keegan Gerhard.
~
From there I helped found and manage the kitchen at the first Coin Op location in North Park before being transferred and promoted to Kitchen Manager at The Lions Share in downtown San Diego under the same ownership.
~
After that I spent years mentoring under acclaimed Chef Ryan Johnston at his original restaurant WhisknLadle as well as his Michelin Star Italian restaurant Catania, both in beautiful La Jolla, where the focus was on using classic gourmet cooking techniques to transform the freshest seasonal ingredients into delicious and nutritious meals.
~
Here is my Formal Dinner Party Menu but I offer many other options including Brunch, BBQ, American Casual, French, Italian, Mexican, Taco Bar, Mediterranean Bowl Station, Wedding Reception, or whatever else you would like me to customize for you!

  • Such a lovely dinner with chef logan! He cooked the most delicious food while dealing with several food allergies and dietary restrictions. He brought all of his own cookware and left the kitchen spotless. Highly recommend and plan on booking again in the future (:

  • I had Chef Logan cook for me and my family the night I got married. He was on time and brought everything he needed to make us an absolutely delicious four-course meal. He made multiple customizations to his proposed menu for my group without hesitation. He was so accommodating and responded promptly to all my messages and even agreed to have a planning session over the phone a few weeks prior to help me feel prepared for the day. I highly recommend Chef Logan and will definitely use him again soon! Thank you, Logan!

  • I chose Chef Logan based on his elegant selection of courses. They all sounded so delicious it was really hard to choose. My family of 14, is very into food and wine. They were delighted by the texture, flavor and presentation of the Chef’s menu. I highly recommend his services and I will be sure to retain his services again.

  • Chef Logan was FANTASTIC. He threw us a beautiful bachelorette brunch for 14 people at our home and everything he made tasted amazing. He was extremely accommodating and even cleaned up after he finished. Logan was also extremely respectful and we had no problem inviting him into our home. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely be reaching back out :)

  • Chef Logan was amazing. He was very cordial and still gave us our space to hang out so we didn’t feel like a stranger was in the room. His food was superb. One member of our group who is a foodie was doubtful about a chef at home, but he was blown away by Chef Logan and even asked me to get the chef’s recipes. Highly recommend Chef Logan and the TableatHome experience.

  • Chef Logan prepared a lunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday for a large group of us. He was incredibly easy to work with and coordinate a menu. He was able to accommodate all food restrictions. Not to mention his food was absolutely delicious!

  • We had chef Logan come to our home for a small private dinner to celebrate my 30th birthday. He cooked us a delicious 3-course French inspired meal that everyone loved. We couldn’t get enough of his bearnaise sauce - yum!! He was also very good at communicating throughout to make sure we were accommodated. He even adjusted the menu a bit for my gluten sensitivity. The whole experience was amazing and would definitely use Table at Home and Chef Logan again in the future!
