Meet Chef Wade
Chef Wade Loucks is a Marine Corps veteran who found his calling in the kitchen.
Military service taught him discipline, precision, and what it means to serve. He didn’t abandon those values in the kitchen, they just took on a new mission and meaning.
Wade is a student and master of his craft. The vegetables may have been picked just this morning, but each dish is years of practice culminated upon a plate. They’ve earned every right to be savoured.
What guests are saying
“We found Chef Wade last minute after wildfires forced us to completely rework our bachelorette trip, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. The food absolutely exceeded all of our expectations — not one dish felt like it was missing love or attention. Every dish felt intentional, thoughtful, and full of love. I would 1000% hire Wade again. Could not recommend Chef Wade enough!”
— Lauren D., San Diego
Wade is based near Yosemite and travels up to 150 miles for evenings across the region.
