My culinary journey has always been fueled by a deep passion for creating unforgettable dining experiences that resonate with people on a personal level. I started in the kitchens of Atlanta, working my way up from a dishwasher to a seasoned chef, and it was during my time as a private chef that I truly rekindled my love for the culinary arts. Bringing fine dining into private homes allowed me to craft personalized and exquisite culinary experiences that spoke to the heart.

In January 2023, I opened Sage in Andrews, NC, where I had the opportunity to blend regional flavors with innovative dishes. Sage was a labor of love, but after some time, I realized that I needed to prioritize my health and focus on the aspects of the culinary world that truly ignite my passion. So, I made the difficult decision to close Sage and turn my attention to what I love most—creating smaller, more intimate dining experiences.

As I rebrand my private chef service from Blue Duck to “Chef Steven Lash,” I’m excited to embark on this new chapter. This change reflects my commitment to offering close-knit, high-quality dining experiences where every detail is meticulously crafted. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for 2 or a multi course Chef’s Tasting Menu, I’m dedicated to ensuring that each experience is personal, memorable, and full of the love I put into my cooking.

My rebranded service is all about focusing on what I do best—turning every meal into a cherished memory. With “Chef Steven Lash,” I bring my artistry and personal touch to each event, creating culinary experiences that are not just meals but moments to be treasured.
