Paul Hietter
Executive Chef & Proprietor
A native of Illinois, Paul discovered his passion for cooking and fine cuisine at the age of seven, and it has been an integral part of his life ever since. He received training early on, from various restaurant experiences and catering venues. He loves the challenges of new food cultures and the resurgence of fine dining and entertaining.
After a successful career as a Business Development Manager in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, he has settled in Palm Springs to fulfill his passion—Love At First Bite™. His greatest asset is the passion and care that he offers clients, as well as the ambience and atmosphere that he creates. Greatly influenced by Mediterranean food as well as contemporary American classics, attending one of Paul's events is like venturing into a magical feast.
