More About Chef Turner:
Chef Turner is originally from the coast of South Carolina. Early on, he was exposed to the great foods and bold flavors that make up Low Country Cuisine. At 15 years old, Turner debuted at his first kitchen as a dishwasher and prep cook. He soon became an integral team member and would only grow as a chef from there. After a few years managing corporate, Turner apprenticed on the coast while majoring in business before becoming a traveling chef in America’s national parks.
After two decades working from coast to coast as an executive chef, he fell in love with Scottsdale while there for some R&R and decided to move to Arizona. Turner then started his private chef business, which quickly took off. Since then, he has appeared on television numerous times, been featured in several publications and landed on the cover of magazines. The chef specializes in small, private affairs all across the Valley and Sedona. With a staff of 10 that includes a sous-chef and dietician, along with several service staff, Turner is ready to create his magic anywhere there’s a flame. When he’s not cooking, the chef is working on a few passion film projects and launching his new business. Chef Turner has been named the No. 1 private chef in Phoenix, a Yelp Business Allstar, and maintains a five-star rating across the board. He truly believes in customer service.
