Chef John

I’m Waikoloah Shedrick, born and raised in Jeffersonville, Georgia (Twiggs County). I’m a 10-year Air Force veteran, a recent culinary arts graduate, and I’m currently working toward my bachelor’s in food and beverage management.

I cook with real love for the craft, and I put that same passion onto every plate. I’m always pushing myself to create something new—bringing exciting food and drinks to the table while exploring fresh ideas and new flavors.

Chef John
Cooking is my soul, my passion, my heart—and I believe love is what gives food that extra something you can’t recreate.

What you get when you book me

I cook from the heart

For me, cooking is my soul, my passion, my heart. I bring that energy into every detail—from seasoning and timing to presentation—so each course feels personal and memorable.

My roots shape my craft

I learned how to cook in my grandmother’s house, and that foundation still guides me today. I blend that comfort and tradition with my culinary training to deliver dishes that feel familiar, elevated, and intentional.

Love is my secret ingredient

I believe passion and love give food an extra something you can’t recreate. That’s my philosophy in the kitchen: cook with care, stay curious, and make every bite mean something.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 185 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Chef's special, Local, Seafood/Fish and Latin American. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in United States?

To book me in United States, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Romantic night. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
