Brunch Caterers in Lakewood, CA

With over 13 years of experience in award-winning kitchens—including a James Beard finalist restaurant—I bring a deep respect for seasonal ingredients, classic technique, and bold flavor. Whether you're looking for a cozy family dinner or a multi-course private event, I create memorable meals tailored to your tastes and dietary needs. My style is warm, rustic, and refined, drawing from my culinary roots in California and Argentina. I handle everything from planning to cleanup so you can relax and enjoy the experience at your own table.

I thrive to offer great services to all customers big or small. My culinary training in many different cuisines grants me an all around palate to offer unique flavorful food. From Healthy American to a Southern Flare, you will not be disappointed!

We love satisfying people's bellies. We cook with wholesome ingredients and make sure all of our dishes are both tasty and healthy. Regardless of the size of the event, quality is never compromised. We've done event's like the Victoria Secret Fantasy Bra Diamond Event, but we've also done intimate dinners for two. Let us make your tummy happy!

After years of working as a Private Chef in California, Chris’ reputation for great food and amazing customer service was getting him noticed. In 2006, he introduced Chris Brugler Catering which quickly found its place as one of Los Angeles’ premier caterers. With clients like Disney, Valentino, Volkswagon, Netflix, Cartier, and Tory Burch; Chris Brugler Catering is on the forefront of culinary excellence. With Chris at the helm of so many large events he has had the opportunity to train and create great relationships with cooks who became chefs that eventually ran large scale events for Chris when he had multiple events on the same night. Chris never would have imagined doing so many dinners each weekend from LA, Palm Springs to San Diego but he is positioned perfectly by calling on his amazing team that he has cultivated over the last 15 years to be the executing onsite chef. Chris has taken the positive out of the current situation and shifted his focus to growing the business, client relations and handling all of the prep and organization so the consistency is the same for each dinner. This also allows his large team to continue to work and thrive in these uncertain times. Not being the executing chef on every dinner has allowed him more time with his son Oliver (AKA O Dog) who loves being in the kitchen and creating his own recipes and plating style. Chris uses locally sourced, seasonal products and prides himself on using nothing but the finest and freshest ingredients to deliver you an unforgettable meal. Now with catering and private chef services that extend nationwide, Chris Brugler is a household name. With more than 20 years of experience, Chris Brugler's passion for food has never wavered. He has been working diligently on recipes for those in need of clean and healthy dining options as well, knowing that you don't have to sacrifice flavor to eat healthy. He established safe handling and food service practices that needed no change to comply with recent pandemic guidelines and has ensured clean, safe, and wipeable storage for his delivery services as well.
