Introducing...The Chef's Table
What is better for you, organic or local products that haven’t been stored and shipped?
What about having both?
Currently our society is going through tremendous changes in our physiology, and not in a good way. When with all of our knowledge and technology instead of expanding our ability to thrive mentally and physically. We are getting shorter, our mental capacity is diminishing instead of expanding, men are losing testosterone levels and sperm count. You would think with all of our vast intelligence and information at our fingertips we would be expanding our intelligence and physical capabilities...instead of contraction.
Much of the changes have been contributed to our diet...What is the saying? “You are what you eat”...It is True!!!
Processed foods may become the demise of our race.
So let’s talk about how to eliminate processed foods from our tables...even in our urban lives...while creating incredible meals. Every cuisine we love is enhanced when the quality of the ingredients are clean, when you use tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes!
We will discuss:
At The Chef’s Table we will focus on how to eat Farm To Table.
How to prepare locally sourced produce, meats, poultry and fish.
Learn how to prepare incredible meat, including wild game & poultry dishes from Texas...
How to source fresh and flash frozen fish to create fantastic dinners.
The does and don’ts for sourcing grains and how to cook them.
One of the wonderful things about Texas is that we can easily acquire Farm to Table Produce. This is Texas..."It's a whole other country"!
Did you know that there are avocados that are grown in Texas? Yes, you can have your morning avocado toast that isn’t shipped from another country!
True Farm to Table isn’t canned in Italy...with Italian tomatoes...it is local.
We have up and coming culinary adventures...all about buying, preparing and eating wonderful clean food...creating elegant cuisine with basic, non processed ingredients...Farm to Table!
Keep it clean, Keep it local!
Stay tuned!

- What is the difference between farm raised and wild caught fish...what does it mean to you in you diet?
- Should we eat organic?
- What about Non-GMO?
- What happens to produce when it is sourced in another continent!
- Why do we use dyes in our food and Europe does not?
- Learning how to adapt to seasonal cuisine!

Chef Cat...
California Fusion!
Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, I was surrounded culinary and cultural experimentation. Being fortunate to travel the world and experience incredible cuisine and civilizations, my love of sharing my experience and excitement for food is why I created Etoile.
Etoile has a commitment to fresh, clean cuisine and bringing flavor to you. As a scratch chef, I only use the purest ingredients to provide you with an exceptional culinary experience. Being trained in Northern Mediterranean Cuisine, we focus on creating incredible healthy menus, with a fresh Californian flair.
It's California Fusion!

Chef Cat was an absolute delight and provided an incredibly enjoyable experience. Our group had the opportunity to delve into the rich world of Greek cuisine and culinary trivia, which was both enlightening and entertaining. The food prepared by Chef Cat surpassed all expectations (the chocolate pecan cake—10/10!). The entire evening was a genuine pleasure, and we truly relished every moment of it.

My wife and I were visiting Houston for our 21st anniversary and she has a food allergy (soybean oil). There aren't many restaurants that can accommodate her. I wasn't sure how this would work in a small air b&b downtown, but Chef Cat made it was amazing. The food, the experience, and the chef were all great. I will be doing this again.
