I am Chef Randy Willis, a culinary artist whose roots are deeply embedded in the bustling kitchens of Washington, DC. My formative years at Johnson and Wales Culinary School paved the way for a career adorned with remarkable achievements, including my time as the private chef for NFL player Willis McGehee during the Ravens football season and my culinary contributions to two presidential inaugurations for Presidents Bush and Obama. My skills have been honed in the esteemed kitchens of the Willard Intercontinental Hotel and Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington DC, as well as at the W Hotel in South Beach Miami and the Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Beach Resort.
My approach to cooking is an intuitive blend of vision and taste. I believe in envisioning the final flavor of a dish before it's even created, carefully balancing each element until it matches the taste I've imagined. This philosophy has its roots in my childhood in Washington, DC where at just 10 years old, I began my culinary journey with simple scrambled eggs. Growing up in a family renowned for their large cookouts, I quickly developed a passion for cooking. It was through baking and making cakes for family functions that I discovered desserts weren't just treats, but gateways to people's hearts. This early realization ignited my lifelong love affair with cooking. Today, I see myself not just as a Chef, but as a storyteller and a flavor artist, continually redefining the art of fine dining and catering in the DMV area.
