Meet the Chef

Culinary Artistry Rooted in Classical Training

Chef Gregory S. Kalatsky is one of California’s Central Coast premier culinary professionals — a graduate of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, with a career spanning more than a quarter century of gastronomic excellence.

From his Paso Robles home base, Gregory has crafted unforgettable dining experiences for thousands of guests across San Luis Obispo County, Santa Barbara, and beyond. His philosophy is simple yet uncompromising: fresh ingredients, cooked to perfection, with 30–50 hours of pre-event preparation for every single occasion.

Culinary Masterpieces

Signature Dishes

Each dish is a testament to Chef Gregory’s commitment to seasonal ingredients, classical technique, and bold Central Coast flavors. Hover to explore each creation.

Award-Winning BBQ

Slow-Smoked Prime Brisket

Oak-smoked for 14 hours over live coals, this competition-grade brisket features a hand-rubbed bark of Central Coast spices, served with house-made pickled jalapeños and brioche. The dish that put Chef Gregory on the competitive BBQ map.

Wedding Signature

Herb-Roasted Rack of Lamb

French-trimmed rack of California lamb, crusted in Dijon, herbes de Provence, and panko. Served with truffle-whipped parsnip and a rosemary reduction sourced from local Paso Robles vineyards.

Coastal Seafood

Pan-Seared Pacific Halibut

Wild-caught Pacific halibut kissed in brown butter with caperberries, lemon confit, and microgreens. Plated alongside a golden saffron-potato purée.

Vegetarian Feature

Black Truffle Mushroom Risotto

Arborio rice slowly coaxed with house-made porcini stock, finished with shaved Périgord truffle, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a drizzle of estate olive oil.

Winery Dinner Dessert

Valrhona Chocolate Fondant

Warm 70% Valrhona dark chocolate fondant with a molten center, paired with Paso Robles late-harvest Zinfandel caramel, vanilla bean crème fraîche, and spun sugar.
