I’m Chris Spear, the chef and owner of Perfect Little Bites, an in-home personal chef business based in Frederick, Maryland. You might also know me as the host of the Chefs Without Restaurants podcast, and the man behind the culinary networking organization of the same name. I graduated from Johnson & Wales University with a B.S. in culinary arts, and have been working in the foodservice industry for almost 30 years.⁣
⁣
I’m passionate about food and hospitality, and dreamt of bringing an upscale dining experience directly into peoples' homes, so I started my personal chef business on the side in 2010. Tired of the corporate foodservice grind, I left my job and took the business full-time in 2016. Specializing in contemporary American cuisine with global influences, Perfect Little Bites services the metro Washington D.C. and Baltimore areas, as well as parts of West Virginia, Southern Pennsylvania, and Northern Virginia.⁣
⁣
Wanting to build a community to help support other food entrepreneurs, I started the Chefs Without Restaurants community. Its focus would be on sharing gig opportunities and knowledge, as well as doing collaborative pop-up events. This led to the launch of the Chefs Without Restaurants podcast in late 2019, and the show features guests working in aspects of foodservice such as catering, research & development, contract foodservice, and the food truck industry.⁣
⁣
Now I split my time between cooking unique dishes for my guests, such as scrapple dip, and engaging with the culinary community I’ve built. I’ve written editorials for StarChefs, and some of my recipes can be found on the Garden and Gun and Imbibe websites. You can also find an illustration of my chest tattoo in the book Knives & Ink, along with a recipe for smoked gouda and hot pepper pimento cheese.⁣
⁣
I’m also a husband, and father of twins. When not cooking or talking about food, you'll probably find me taking photos, wandering an art gallery, or rocking out at one of DC's concert venues. Ask to see my Star Wars collection, or to tell you about the time Bill Murray inadvertently ruined our anniversary dinner
