Hello, I'm Chef Sam.
I have always had a passion for cooking, and there's nothing more fulfilling than seeing friends and customers enjoy the meals I prepare. For most of my career, I’ve been self-employed, starting as an engineer before transitioning into the jewelry business, where I wholesaled gems and custom-made clothing. However, when COVID hit, I was forced to close my business as I relied on in-person meetings with clients. During this time, I channeled my energy into developing my culinary skills. I took master classes from some of the world's best chefs, attended the Culinary Institute of America (CIA), and immersed myself in cookbooks and online resources. Three years ago, I launched Salat Foods, a food trailer specializing in Mediterranean cuisine. Along the way, I expanded into catering, offering a range of dishes beyond Mediterranean—Italian, Greek, Middle Eastern, and more. I’ve had the privilege of catering for weddings, birthdays, graduations, and special events, bringing delicious flavors to every celebration.
