Chef Chris' Story
Chris Manos cultivated his culinary skills from a young age, working with his brother Alex in their father’s pastry shop. His career led him to two Michelin-starred restaurants in Athens—Hytra and Spondi—where he further refined his talents in fine dining. After returning to Los Angeles, Chris joined Alex in building Gourmaze, a luxury catering company, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, they transformed the idea of private dining, offering their clients a personalized experience with the sophistication of a top-tier restaurant. Chris’s commitment to delivering excellence with every meal has helped position Gourmaze as a leader in high-end catering.

A truly unforgettable experience. I wanted to gift my wife with a true Michelin star experience at home for her birthday and Chef Chris did not disappoint. Every plate was 10/10, best I’ve ever had, and very generous portions. We actually had leftovers. Will definitely be hiring again.
