Evan Elman is a young chef hailing from Cambridge, Massachusetts, now based out of Vancouver, BC. Evan began working in professional kitchens at 14, and after graduating from The University of British Columbia (UBC) in 2013, he put academia on the back burner and reignited his passion for cooking.

Evan has traveled to exotic locations as a cruise ship chef in Antarctica and a Sous Chef on the remote island of Haidi Gwaii. Evan has also worked with the Hawksworth Group in Vancouver and orchestrated pop-up dinners in New York City, hosted by Samy Road, and attended by diners from the New York Times, Food & Wine, and Complex Magazine among others.

Evan also worked as the Chef de Partie at Relais & Châteaux’s Wedgewood Hotel & Spa, a 5-diamond hotel in downtown Vancouver. Most recently, Evan landed his first Executive Chef position at Dinner in the Sky Canada, which inspired him to create his private dining service, Vancouver Private Dining.
