Soul Food Caterers in New Braunfels, TX

Mabuhay means “welcome” in Tagalog, one of the many languages in the Philippines. It can be synonymous with aloha in Hawaii. I being a presence of home. The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs introduced me to various services from Sunday Brunches, steakhouses, brasseries, and larger scale events such as weddings. Uchiko/Uchi in Austin helped me find my way through Asian Fusion. My time as a sushi chef there is a great segue to personal cheffing as it taught me how to read a room, and how to serve my client better.

Private Chef | Cajun-Creole Soul | Queer & Culture-Driven Cuisine & Experiences Hey y’all, I’m Chef Dominic—a Black & Indigenous personal chef with deep Louisiana roots and a whole lotta soul in my food. I specialize in intimate, unforgettable dining experiences: private chef tables, bachelorette and engagement parties, dinner parties, small weddings, brunches, and soulful pop-ups that honor heritage, identity, and community. Born and raised on the flavors of the bayou in the outskirts of Baton Rouge, Louisiana; my cooking is rooted in authentic Cajun-Creole tradition, with bold fusion influences from Mexican, Asian, Italian, and Mediterranean cuisines. Every menu is custom-built around you—but always stays true to the cultural integrity and Black Southern storytelling that runs through every dish I plate. I work with all budgets, so don’t let pricing scare you away—if you’ve got a vision, I’ll do my best to make it happen. If you’re craving more than just a meal—if you want a dinner that makes you feel seen, nourished, and celebrated—let’s make magic at your table. 📍Based in Austin, TX | Will travel | Inclusive & affirming to all 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈✊🏽
