Help Build Austin’s Chef-Led Kitchen for Local Food Collab

By Chef Cibelli is a chef-led culinary business based in Austin, offering custom catering, private dining, and elevated meal experiences focused on seasonal ingredients, bold flavor, and balanced nutrition.

After nearly 20 years in the industry, I’ve built a company rooted in quality, consistency, and community. But like many small food businesses, growth requires infrastructure—and that’s exactly what this campaign will support.

I’m raising $8,000 to transition into a private kitchen space that will serve as the foundation for streamlined operations, expanded catering and meal delivery, and deeper collaborations with other small, local food producers. This move will immediately reduce overhead, increase capacity, and allow me to serve more clients more efficiently—without sacrificing quality or creativity.

Your support will help fund:

A dedicated kitchen and storage space

Consolidation from multiple storage units

Support staff for booking + admin

Equipment, signage, and outreach materials

The continued growth of a culinary business that feeds people well and gives back to the local food community

This isn’t just about expanding a business—it’s about building a more sustainable and collaborative food economy here in Austin.

If you’ve enjoyed my food, followed my work, or simply believe in supporting chef-led local businesses with heart and hustle—thank you for being here.

Let’s build something lasting together.
