CHEF TYSON PETE
Where Purpose Meets the Plate
“Every dish I create tells a story of where I’ve been, who I’ve loved, and what I’ve learned along the way.”
My Story
Food has always been more than survival for me. It’s expression. It’s healing. It’s legacy. Long before the books, the coaching, or the spotlight — there was the kitchen: a place where I turned struggle into sauce and silence into flavor.
From five-star club kitchens to community cookouts, I’ve served plates that feed both body and soul. My cooking lives at the crossroads of Southern roots, West Coast rhythm, and modern storytelling.
The Experience
Whether I’m catering for a brand launch, leading a class for young chefs, or hosting a private dinner, one thing stays constant — intention. Every meal carries a message: that love and legacy can be tasted.
Offerings:
-
Private Chef Experiences – Intimate dinners, retreats, and milestone events with curated menus and storytelling.
-
Cooking Classes & Workshops – Empowering youth, fathers, and families to cook with confidence and heart.
-
Event Catering – Custom menus designed around your theme, mission, or cause.
-
Brand Collaborations & Media – Food as culture. Partnerships that tell meaningful stories through taste.
Signature Style
Bold. Soulful. Elevated. My kitchen philosophy: honor your roots, then remix them. Expect dishes that nod to tradition but aren’t afraid to innovate.

"Peach Bourbon BBQ Ribs"
Slow-smoked St. Louis ribs glazed with a house-made peach-bourbon reduction. Sweet heat, sticky edges, fall-off-the-bone tenderness. Finished with a whisper of hickory and fresh thyme.

Behind The Apron
Cooking saved me. It gave me a voice when I didn’t have one. Every meal I make now is an offering to my children, my community, and anyone trying to build something beautiful out of what’s been broken.
This isn’t just about food. It’s about love made visible.
