Chef John

I’m Anthony Schafer, a chef and Certified Sommelier creating private dining experiences, intimate celebrations, and chef-led events throughout Southern Utah. My cooking is rooted in seasonality, live fire, and thoughtful hospitality, and I shape every menu around the occasion, the setting, and the people gathered around the table.

My background spans chef-driven restaurants, culinary leadership, private events, and live-fire cooking, with experience influenced by the kitchens and philosophy of José Andrés. I keep things elevated without feeling formal—seasonal ingredients, thoughtful technique, warm service, and food that feels connected to the place and the moment.
