Chef Joshua Clarke

I cook with purpose, precision, and heart—so every plate feels personal.

C&R Catering

I bring catering-level execution to personal, made-for-you dining.

Chef John

I’m passionate about cooking, and I aim for perfection in every plate. For me, great food is about consistency, timing, and care—whether I’m serving an intimate dinner or feeding a larger group.

I started my journey about 10 years ago as a prep cook in my family’s restaurant while I was in college. Over the years I grew through roles like lead line, sous chef, kitchen manager, and executive chef, and in 2019 I took the leap to open my own catering business. Today, I’m bringing that experience into personal chef service—focused, flexible, and tailored to you.

Cooking is natural to me—something I do like breathing.

What you can expect when you hire me

Cooking comes naturally to me

Cooking is natural to me—something I do like breathing. That instinct lets me stay calm, move efficiently, and deliver clean, confident flavors every time.

I’ve been in kitchens since I was young

I learned to cook at a very young age because my mother owned her own catering business, so I grew up around the industry. That early start shaped my work ethic and my standards for service and execution.

I listen first, then I deliver

My kitchen secret is taking the time to listen and give you exactly what you’re expecting. I’m always striving to be the best and to provide the best service—before, during, and after the meal.
