Our Story

Chef Alex Forsythe, owner and founder of Executive Chefs Services (www.1ecs.com) has been at the PGA facing triple-digit temperatures and has been preparing dishes for all the soir�es, which will wet the palette and keep the guests refreshed as they enjoy the PGA Championships. �We had Chef Alex do a Latin theme for our event and it was a really an excellent way to cool us off and make us hot to party� said 

Chef Alex's Cooling menu included:

Jicma, Strips with Jerk Spice and Tequila mist
Clear and Calms. Gin and Goslings Rum with Native mint. 
Margarita Moose Maitme, Sustainable shrimp. ugh
Planet Mushroom (varietal Chef choice) matched with 
Goat in Filo Cups.

I really recommend that you consider designing small dishes for your guests and also keeping your menu items small to enjoy picnic style under umbrellas or trees as you fight the heat to enjoy the PGA said Chef Alex Forsythe. "The Chefs at ECS travel around the world and are always prepared for any type of weather and have a deep concern for our environment."

For ten years, Executive Chef Services (ECS) has served as a chef-based referral service whose website allows clients to find the perfect professional chef for any occasion or location. Chef Alex Forsythe and the chefs of ECS know and appreciate the signs of global warming and understand the need to "go green" while remaining on the cutting edge for culinary delights. ECS chefs went "Green" in order to support the local farmers and provide the freshest quality produce for their menus. These high caliber chefs care about the clients and are paying more attention to the carbon footprint of every meal they create wherever they create it.

Chefs at ECS are also starting to offer "Environmental Chef Services," providing environmental and social awareness alongside their usual creative and quality gastronomical services. In addition to incorporate these values into their day-to-day lives and work, chefs Jody Kropt, Alex Forsythe, RJ Harvey, Daniel Herskovic and Daniel Asher will be participating in the "Eat Well Guided Tour of America," which is run by the non-profit organization Sustainable Table.
