A Little Background

Carlos Cabral is a Michelin-trained chef with extensive experience in fine dining, premier catering, private hospitality, and culinary development. He currently serves as Executive Culinary Director of Foxburg Global Estates & Hospitality, leading culinary strategy across the organization's private estates and hospitality portfolio. He remains hands-on as an operator, regularly working the line and expediting for quality control, and building efficient workflows and SOPs.

Born in the United States and raised between the U.S. and Paraguay, Carlos developed a deep connection to food through open-fire cooking, butchery, and regenerative farming on his family's farm. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, he refined his craft in respected kitchens including Ai Fiori, Baltusrol, and Resident NYC, with stages at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Eleven Madison Park, and The Inn at Little Washington.

Throughout his career, Carlos has cooked for a distinguished roster of A-list celebrities, athletes, and high-profile clients nationwide through his own private chef practice. After serving as Corporate Executive Chef for Heck's Restaurant Group, he joined Spice Hospitality Group in Cleveland as Head Catering Chef, leading the company's event catering and wholesale production — including the Boom's Pizza commissary — and supporting execution of the organization's sports hospitality program for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Cleveland Guardians, including on-site game-day service. Between roles, he spent several months freelancing as a private chef and working as a cooking instructor and coach at My Cooking Party in New York City, before stepping into his current role at Foxburg.
