CHEF ON CALL
‘A private chef that’s just one call away’
Local-ish Cuisine in Grand Cayman
Working with only the best products on island, Chef Thomas Tennant is well known for his local-ish style of cooking. What he brings to the table is his American and Argentinian heritage, combined with the natural bounty and flavours found in the Cayman Islands. From catering boat parties and private aircrafts to intimate dinners and large-scale events, Thomas is the only Chef On Call you’ll need for your meal, event or vacation.
Cooking started at an early age for Thomas when he began testing recipes from his family’s library. His passion for cooking grew in his pursuit to bring satisfaction and joy to people through his food, and that continues to this very day.
Throughout his career he has worked for a James Beard Award winning Chef Michael Schwartz at multiple concepts in Miami, Grand Cayman and Nassau. Under Chef Michael Schwartz he learned to incorporate local products and be an advocate for farmers and fishermen. He has taken this a step further during his time in Grand Cayman as a member of the Cayman United Lionfish League (CULL) where he educated the public and was one of the first restaurants to serve this invasive, tasty fish on his menus.
He worked as the Head Chef of The Brasserie, a leading farm-to-table restaurant in Grand Cayman with Chef Dean Max before branching out to start his own company, Tomfoodery Kitchen.
In 2023, he embarked on a new chapter of his career and launched a number of businesses. Chef On Call provides private chef services, event catering and restaurant consulting to residents and visitors across Grand Cayman. His other projects with his wife, Chelsea Tennant, include his new hot sauce brand, Cayman Peppa Sauce and a locally made gifting service called Cayman Pantry.
