Sous Chef

Anni Anderson

Sous Chef Andrea "Anni" Anderson brings a lifelong love of hospitality, creativity, and connection to the table. Raised at her family’s resort in California’s Gold Country, she grew up surrounded by weddings, celebrations, and the belief that great food is about more than what’s on the plate.

Her career has taken her from restaurants and high-volume events to intimate private dinners, luxury homes, film sets, weddings, and cooking for touring musicians across the country. Anni combines restaurant technique with the warmth and personality of genuine hospitality.

Her cooking is creative, story-driven, and rooted in one simple idea: food should make people feel something.
