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
