San Francisco, CA
BIO
Chef Butters unique culinary perspective is informed by her travels and her Afro-Caribbean heritage. Having moved back to the states from Barcelona in early 2016, Chef Butters, who originally hails from Chicago, has since transformed her passion for cooking into a business. Her company, The Pleasure Principle began as a supper club and has evolved into private chef work, catering, and all manner of dining events. Today Chef Butters calls Oakland, CA home and you can catch her 'cooking-on-the-run' at pop-ups, restaurant takeovers, and local music, art, and food events.
