Greek House Chefs provides you with ongoing support and training from our management team—plus connections to our 384 Chefs, nationwide. We also provide unmatched benefits to our chefs, including company-provided health insurance that is 50% subsidized for employees—that means we pay 50% of that cost.

Unlike other similar food service companies, we do not tie your hands with small food budgets that are impossible to meet.

We make sure that your pantries are stocked and the fridges are full of fresh produce and delicious ingredients.
I spent 22 years in kitchens—cooking, cleaning, making food. I was miserable, stressed out, lonely and done. One year later, I have found the passion never left, but what entered was the moments that I personally see being made over the food I create.

Before GHC, I spent almost 20 years in the restaurant business working tiresome hours with little financial stability and benefits. Family time was very limited as I worked most weekend and holidays. Being a Blue Coat Chef, I have the financial and timing capability to plan vacations, and be with my family for holidays. I also love that I have the freedom to build my own menus and use higher quality foods to execute them. I love that our team is a community of talented, nurturing chefs that inspire me every day. I have witnessed the dedication from Carey and Corey and the rest of the office staff to build this company into what it has become. A company with the highest morals and values with our “Bring Em Home Culture” And I am incredibly thankful and proud to be part of the Blue Coat Army!

Greek House Chefs has always been much more than a job for me. From the first day I met Carey and Corey for an interview, I knew my life would change forever and for the better. They gave me an opportunity. At that time, GHC was a brand new baby company at Iowa State with only 4 chefs cooking at two fraternities and two sororities. In all honesty, I was not nearly ready for this position when I started, with very little catering experience, coming as a line cook from Village Inn. They took a chance on me. They gave me their constant support and patience. As the company grew exponentially, the leadership remained the same; generous, supportive, and extremely caring and loyal for the people that work for it. Forever am I grateful for the opportunity to grow in an environment that nurtures sucess. It’s because of their leadership that I’ve evolved into the person I am today. I couldn’t imagine my life without finding Greek House Chefs. This is more than a job to me; it’s my family.
