About me: Chef Nolan Lalone

Hailing from Orlando, Florida, my passion for cooking began at just five years old in the kitchen alongside my grandfather. What started with simple meals — including my first attempt at chicken and waffles — quickly grew into a lifelong commitment to the culinary arts.

That early curiosity led me to formal training in culinary arts at Greenville Technical College and professional experience at the prestigious Greenville Country Club in Greenville, South Carolina, where I refined my technique and developed a deep appreciation for elevated, ingredient-driven cuisine.

Today, through Shadow Oak Private Chef, I bring that same passion, discipline, and creativity directly to your home — crafting personalized dining experiences designed to turn meaningful moments into unforgettable ones.

Philosophy of food and why did I start Shadow Oak Private Chef?

At Shadow Oak Private Chef, I believe food is way more than just nourishment — it is an experience to never forget. I also believe the best meals are rooted in seasonality, balance, and intention. Every ingredient has a purpose, every flavor has a role, and every plate tells a story.

My approach blends refined technique with warm Southern hospitality, creating dishes that feel both elevated and deeply comforting. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for two or a celebration with friends, my goal is simple: to create unforgettable moments around the table.

I started Shadow Oak Private Chef because of you. My goal is to share my heart, passion, and soul through every meal I create — not for money, but to give people an extraordinary dining experience in the comfort of their own homes.

Anderson County and the surrounding communities deserve memorable, high-quality meals without having to go out. From special events to nights when you simply don’t feel like cooking, I’m here to bring restaurant-level cuisine directly to your table.

If you’re looking for someone who cares about every detail, who crafts each dish with intention and love, that’s exactly the kind of chef I strive to be.
