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’m a professional bartender with over 8 years of experience crafting and serving a wide range of drinks—from classic cocktails to refreshing natural juices. My passion for creating unforgettable beverage experiences led me to launch my own business, Sun Kissed Squeeze, where I serve high-quality, fresh juices with a unique twist. I use only the freshest ingredients, maintain the highest hygiene standards, and pay close attention to every detail to ensure every customer leaves happy. I don’t just serve drinks—I deliver mood, flavor, and a level of service that keeps people coming back.” check out my work on instagram: @shakeitwithpete 🍹✨”
