Chef Brie Murray
Owner & Executive Chef
The heart behind Culinary Experiences.
I’m Chef Brie Murray, a personal chef, culinary educator, and the founder of Culinary Experiences. For more than 15 years, I’ve built my career around food, hospitality, and the simple belief that the best meals are the ones that bring people together.
A graduate of Escoffier School of Culinary Arts in Boulder, my culinary experience spans private homes, luxury resorts, estates, ranches, vineyards, and destination sports events across the country. I’ve also had the opportunity to cook on Food Network’s Chopped and spend summers cooking on chuckwagons in Wyoming, experiences that have shaped the way I approach food, hospitality, and adventure.
Today, I bring all of that experience to the table through personalized private chef experiences throughout St. Augustine and Northeast Florida.
More Than a Meal
For me, cooking has always been about more than what’s on the plate.
It’s about gathering around the table. Celebrating another year. Welcoming family home. Sharing a meal on vacation. Slowing down long enough to laugh, connect, and make memories together.
That’s the heart of Culinary Experiences.
Every menu is thoughtfully created around the people I’m cooking for—from fresh seasonal ingredients and dietary needs to the feeling you want your celebration to have.
The main ingredient is love.
