Professional Chef

Celeste Rogers

Takoma Park, MD

Chef Celeste was born and raised in Chicago, IL. She first learned the joys of scratch cooking and growing fresh produce from her parents and their many family trips to visit her rural southern roots. She moved up as a lead line cook, pastry chef, and sous chef among many influential mentors in Chicago's best kitchens and Michelin bib-gourmand restaurants. After spending a yearlong stint as a catering and events chef in the music industry, she finds that the generosity and comfort of a family style dining experience is most authentic to her cooking.
