About Brandan
I'm Brandan Zachery, a Los Angeles private chef trained at the Institute of Culinary Education. I've cooked at Commander's Palace, Marea Beverly Hills, Club 33, and Lapaba, and I'm a Level 1 Sommelier. I grew up on Southern cooking and fell for Creole and Vietnamese flavors in professional kitchens — where New Orleans meets Saigon. Think smoked Creole gumbo, cha gio, and blackened salmon. I'm an Army veteran and dad of four, and I cook the way I like to host: generous and warm.
