Private chef to A-list celebrities and athletes, contestant on Food Network, regular chef on TV, James Beard Scholar.
Chef Gason, a New Orleans native and two-time James Beard Scholar, has traveled the world, showcasing his extraordinary culinary talents to some of the most discerning palates, including Francis Ford Coppola, the Kardashians, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Matthew McConaughey, Swizz Beatz, Sinbad, Jairus Byrd, Paul Walker, Reggie Bush, and New Orleans Saints' tight end Ben Watson.
Chef Gason has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Business Insider, Reader's Digest, New Orleans Magazine, morning shows, and on the Food Network's "Chopped," where he made it to the final round. In 2017 and 2020, the American Culinary Federation, Louisiana Chapter, named him one of the "Best Chefs in Louisiana."
His passion for food and his hometown shines through in every detail. As Chef Gason says, "The state of being fully immersed in an activity is called 'flow.' Flow is my culinary code." And it's this flow that you’ll learn from him, without a doubt.
Known as the NOLA Chef, Chef Gason’s private chef and catering company, Full of Flavor, caters to events both intimate and grand, earning rave reviews. During your cooking class, his energy and vibrant spirit will leap from your screen, and by the end, you’ll have a new friend—and some of the best Creole food you’ve ever tasted. He can’t wait to teach you how to cook New Orleans-style in his classes with The Chef & The Dish.
