I’m Morgan — aka Chef Mo — a culinary creative, food stylist, brand strategist, and the chaotic-good energy behind pop-up dinners, custom cakes, and viral burgers.
My work lives at the intersection of food, storytelling, and visual identity. I’ve led R&D and branding for food tech startups, styled shoots for national campaigns, cooked for A-listers, and built experiences designed to be both eaten and remembered. Whether I'm plating a burger, concepting a new CPG launch, or curating a dinner party, I bring flavor, intention, and a little attitude to the table.
Private Chef Experiences
Intimate dinners, special events, brand launches — with curated menus, tablescapes, and immersive vibes.
Custom Cakes
One-of-a-kind creations with flavor and flair. If you can dream it, I’ll bake it.
Food Styling
Editorial, social, and commercial styling for brands who want their product to pop (literally and visually).
Brand & Culinary Consulting
For startups, CPG founders, or creators looking to turn a food idea into a brand — from recipe dev to voice-of-brand.
Creator & Writer
I write a Substack called Mise Behaving, where I share the behind-the-scenes of creative food work and entrepreneurial chaos.
It all begins with a flavor. Maybe it’s a perfectly seared scallop. Maybe it’s a tahini drizzle. Maybe it’s a vintage cake that tastes like a memory.
I cook with a seasonally-inspired, texture-obsessed, sauce-forward lens — built from years of restaurant work, creative experimentation, and a whole lot of curiosity.
Every dish I make is designed to look good, taste better, and live on your camera roll.
I’m based in New York City, but my work (and appetite) travels.
From rooftop parties in Brooklyn to shoots in LA and family dinners in the Hudson Valley — if the food is good and the vibes are right, I’ll be there.
Let’s create something unforgettable — wherever you are.
