Chef Oren Story
He took a job as a caretaker for a famous playwright to pay the bills while he explored his first passion – surfing the West Coast. Chef Oren's employer quickly recognized that his young caretaker had an unusual talent for cooking, and sponsored his education at Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena to refine his craft.
Shortly after he graduated, Chef Oren landed an internship at Beau Rivage in Malibu, a local landmark known for its fine dining, picturesque setting, and celebrity clientele. In one short year, he became head chef. A regular at the restaurant, who also owned LA’s most recognized school for acting development, approached Chef Oren with an offer to become his private chef.
