Chef,
Vesper Lover,
Bitter Green Girlie.
Chef Reilly was destined for the kitchen. From his childhood years on the California coast foraging blackberries for homemade pies, to learning the ropes at an early age in the kitchen of his father’s restaurant, it’s been all food, all the time.
Reilly trained at culinary schools in California and Oregon where he honed his skills in the competitive cooking world, competing throughout the US as well as internationally in Istanbul, Luxembourg and South Korea (to name a few).
Stints at The Ritz Carlton, The Bohemian Club, and even running his own doughnut pop up in The Bay Area have rendered Reilly a well-rounded chef whose point of view is informed by seasonal produce, nostalgic recipes, and most of all, keeping it fun in the kitchen.
Phoenix is home for Chef, where he lives with his husband Ryan and their little bruiser Odie.
