Born under the sun-drenched skies of Florida, Chef Scott has always had a passion for flavor,family, and the art of bringing people together through food.

Inspired by family traditions and the melting pot of the New York culinary scene, He soon set sights on the professional kitchen. That dream led westward to California, where he trained under acclaimed chefs and refined their technique in some of the state’s most innovative kitchens. In 2018 Chef Scott launched his own culinary brand— quickly earning a loyal following and critical acclaim. Now, after years of success in California, Chef Scott is coming full circle—returning to Florida to bring his culinary vision back to where it all began.
