I create premium, fine-dining experiences at home—cooked with the same care I give my family and friends.

Charles Spencer

I bring restaurant-level craft to your table, with hospitality-first service.

I’m a professional chef with 15 years of experience in fine dining and hospitality. I found my passion in Cincinnati kitchens like Sotto, Boca, Abigail Street, Salazar, and Sacred Beast, and I’ve continued to grow through hands-on work alongside accomplished chefs across the US.

Whether you want something local and soulful or globally inspired, I tailor each experience to your occasion and preferences. My goal is simple: premium food, calm execution, and a meal that feels genuinely cared for.

Plan my menu with you

Cooking is sacred to me—I believe few things are as human as preparing a meal for someone else, and I love nourishing and caring for people through food.

Here’s what you can expect when I cook for you.

I treat every meal as something sacred

Cooking is sacred to me. I approach each event with intention, technique, and care, because feeding someone is one of the most meaningful ways to show hospitality.

I’ve learned from great kitchens across the US

I studied at CIA Hyde Park, but I learned the real thing from a wide variety of chefs all over the US—bringing that range of experience into every menu I design.

I keep it honest: great ingredients, cooked well

I don’t rely on secrets or gimmicks. I focus on the best, freshest ingredients I can find, and I let that quality drive the flavor on the plate.

Charles Spencer’s Menus

I offer a range of menu styles—from shareable tapas and relaxed buffets to ultra-premium tasting experiences. I can adapt cuisine and pacing to match your event, while keeping execution polished and ingredients at their peak.
