The Symbiotic Chef
Chef Greg Mason began his culinary career over 20 years ago, developing menus at acclaimed restaurants in both Baltimore and San Francisco. In 2014, he became the opening Executive Chef of The White Oak Tavern, where he specialized in seasonal cooking and high-volume events, quickly earning a reputation for thoughtful, ingredient-driven cuisine.
In 2020, Chef Greg became a certified Primal Health Coach and joined the United States Personal Chef Association. Shortly after, he launched The Symbiotic Chef, LLC—a personal chef service built on the foundation of culinary excellence, health-forward eating, and sustainable living.
