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.

I’m Chef Arno Jullien, your French private chef in Los Angeles. I’m here to bring more than just food into your home—I bring meaningful, one-of-a-kind dining experiences shaped by over a decade of work across France, New Zealand, and the U.S. My vision is to change the way people experience food. I believe that when you know who’s cooking your meal, where the ingredients come from, and how the flavors come together, every bite becomes more memorable. That’s why I focus on sourcing the finest local ingredients and creating dishes that feel personal, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying. My cuisine is rooted in French technique and draws inspiration from Italian, Mediterranean, and Asian flavors. I love exploring combinations that surprise and delight—introducing clients to foods they may have once overlooked or hesitated to try. Whether you’re looking for healthy daily meals, elegant fine dining, cozy family-style dishes, or something tailored to dietary needs, I build fully customizable menus around what’s in season and what brings you joy. I approach each step of the process—from concept to execution—with creativity, intention, and respect for the ingredients. Every menu I craft is a reflection of your taste and my commitment to authenticity, originality, and balance. Let’s create something special together—right at your table.

Hi, I’m Justin — chef, culinary artist, and passionate traveler with a love for global flavors and meaningful connections. My mission is to redefine how people experience food—bringing creativity, culture, and connection to the heart of every meal. I specialize in designing unique, locally inspired, and deeply personal dining experiences that go far beyond the plate. For me, food should tell a story—about where it comes from, who made it, and the community it’s shared with. That’s why I focus on sourcing local ingredients, exploring unexpected flavor pairings, and creating menus that honor tradition while pushing creative boundaries. Born and raised in Los Angeles, I grew up surrounded by a vibrant mix of cultures and cuisines. My culinary journey has taken me from neighborhood kitchens to luxury hotels around the world, learning from a diverse range of chefs and techniques along the way. I bring that global perspective into every event, blending refined classics with innovative, fully customizable menus tailored to each occasion. While I specialize in fine-dining Japanese and Mexican cuisine, my background spans a wide range of global influences—from Mediterranean to Southeast Asian—offering both depth and versatility to every dish I create. Every meal I cook is rooted in authenticity, elevated by originality, and crafted with intention.
