Chef Tristan, Founder
THE CHEF BEHIND PLATED KITCHEN
Built by a chef who needed this, too.
I'm Tristan. Father, husband, and chef. Like a lot of families, dinner has always been one of our biggest challenges. Even as a professional chef, life gets busy, and some nights there's simply nothing left to give. I know that feeling well, and so does my wife Stacy. That experience is exactly why Plated Kitchen exists.
Every week I put together a new menu inspired by where I've cooked and what our family loves. Globally inspired, scratch-made, and delivered to your door every Monday.
WHY THIS EXISTS
The training to cook anything. And no time to actually do it.
Long weeks. Long hours. Stacy home with our three kids figuring out dinner every night on her own. I had the skills to cook anything and no energy left to do it when I got home.
We both knew something had to change. So we built the thing we wished existed.
