A Triad catering success story, his entrepreneurial journey from passionate chef to achieving remarkable catering success offers a masterclass in following your culinary dreams while building a thriving business.
Crafting a Culinary Foundation
Brian’s path began in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he studied Hotel and Restaurant Management. Although the corporate world initially beckoned, teaching him valuable business acumen, Brian quickly recognized his true calling was in creating extraordinary food experiences. After eight years in Raleigh honing his craft, the Winston-Salem native returned home with a clear vision: to transform the local catering scene.
“We will strive to elevate your experience,” Brian promises – a commitment that has become the cornerstone of his entrepreneurial journey.
A Family Affair

As a husband-and-wife team, they blend Brian’s chef-driven approach with Jennifer’s flawless execution, consequently delivering unforgettable dining experiences that clients consistently praise.

What distinguishes Elevated Catering Company isn’t merely their use of seasonal and local ingredients or their meticulous attention to detail. Rather, Brian determines to push boundaries in the catering space. From exclusive supper clubs to innovative cohabs and collaborations with local farmers, his entrepreneurial spirit continuously drives innovation.
Furthermore, the recent launch of Elevated Nutrition demonstrates his business acumen – identifying a market need for clean, chef-prepared meals and establishing a complementary business that extends his culinary philosophy into everyday life. He has also been providing consulting services. He has worked with a couple of venues and wineries, helping them hone their kitchen builds and menu designs for maximum profitability.
Community at the Core
Most importantly, Brian’s path to catering success remains deeply rooted in community values. His dedication to local farmers, sustainable practices, and creating memorable experiences for Winston-Salem residents reveals that genuine achievement comes from authentic passion and purpose.
