Artistry on a Plate
A little bit about me
At The Illustrated Chef Catering, we believe that food should tell a story — one that delights the senses, honors global traditions, and celebrates every occasion with unforgettable flavor.
Owned and operated by Executive Chef Adam S. Aschner, our catering company is the culmination of over 30 years of culinary exploration across more than two dozen countries. From the bustling kitchens of five-star restaurants to luxury yachts on the Mediterranean, Chef Adam’s career has been shaped by an insatiable appetite for learning, creativity, and excellence.
With a background that spans from leading high-volume catering teams to serving as a private chef for elite clients, Chef Adam brings precision, passion, and artistry to every event. His deep expertise in Mediterranean, Asian, and modern Texas cuisine is complemented by formal training with world-renowned chefs and hands-on experience from Hong Kong to Bangkok.
More than just a catering service, The Illustrated Chef offers curated culinary experiences. Whether it’s a 10-course tasting menu, an intimate wedding, or a high-end corporate event, we tailor each menu to reflect your vision and elevate your event. Every plate is designed to showcase balance, texture, and visual beauty — a true work of edible art.
From sourcing the freshest ingredients to executing flawless service, our mission is simple: to create food that tastes as incredible as it looks — and lingers in your memory long after the last bite.
