Chef Christian Gullet

Food Visionary: Meet Chef Gullet

A well-seasoned talent, Chef Christian Gullet envisioned a Cedarhurst culinary program to elevate dining, help residents eat healthily, and serve fantastic meals daily.

Chef Gullet is from Memphis, where he discovered his passion for good food and “from-scratch cooking,” and he received his culinary education at St. Louis’ Forest Park culinary program. He apprenticed at Greenbriar Hills Country Club and made his entry as an Executive Chef in Starwood and Hilton hotels throughout the St. Louis region.

Today, he’s driven by his passion for cuisine that connects, taking delight in how senior living dining enriches bonds and sustains relationships.

 

Delight the eye, tickle the taste buds, and fuel the body

Count on Crafted by CedarhurstSM menus to offer:

  • Always-available dining choices: Loaded with favorites (including breakfast items served all day!), it’s the list of tasty goodies residents know they can count on, even as other menu items change throughout the year.
  • Daily specials: Developed regionally to reflect culture and tastes, the daily specials are also seasonal, with freshly sourced ingredients.
  • Fresh soup daily: Our regular soup offering is always tasty and varies by region and time of year.
  • Tailored-to-you service: Every plate and each server represent a healthy dose of just-for-you hospitality.
