Chef

Pablo Valencia

Sustainable local resourcing for meals made from scratch, using old cooking methods to create conversations around the table again…providing catering for private events, corporate events, meal preps, and a private chef experience.

“At Scratching the Plate, we focus on on bare bones scratch cooking, using good old wood fire to bring back the appreciation for not only what food is now, but what it was back then”

“I want to return to the table, return to how food was, to return to all the memories made around the plate. Made by hand for good times and great people.”
