Chef Gail Patak

Gail Patak is a credentialed chef, an experienced educator, a certified International Event & Wedding Planning professional, a successful businesswoman, and imaginative entrepreneur. She also specializes in vegan cuisine; although in that respect, she totally contradicts the stock image of vegans as out-of-the-mainstream.
From 2006 until today, Patak has established a strong track record as both an independent caterer and restaurant associated professional event planner and caterer⁠—going the whole nine yards, from developing party themes to sourcing venues, designing invitations, coordinating guest lists, creating floral arrangements, hiring and leading staffs, and of course, composing, preparing,
and serving customized menus. Patak created and executed the very popular Farm to Table events with a strong focus on highlighting regional non-profits groups. She has worked diligently to bring people together for the betterment of the community with regards to issues of animal protection, ocean conservation, and promoting health and nutrition. “It is so important to give back and garner a sense of community.”
The common thread throughout Chef Patak’s professional career is, quite simply, passion. It is a fabric that, she tells us, “has taken many turns over the years… but at all times it has been something I love to share or to inspire others to achieve their goals.”
