Chef Steven Ferdinand didn't set out to build a brand. He set out to cook in the places that demanded the most of him.
From the Michelin-starred kitchens of Europe to the relentless pace of New York, the farm-driven philosophy of San Francisco, the spectacle of Las Vegas, and the bold warmth of Miami and Atlanta, every city shaped his palate, his discipline, and his point of view.
On Tour Eats was born from a simple conviction: the best meal you'll ever have shouldn't happen in a restaurant. It should happen at your table, in your space, with the people who matter most to you, designed entirely around you.
Now based in Sarasota, Florida, Chef Steven brings that world-class craft to the Gulf Coast and wherever the next experience calls him.

Trained in Michelin-starred kitchens across France and Italy, mastering classical technique and the philosophy of ingredient-first cooking.
Worked in some of the city's most demanding fine dining environments, developing a sharp palate for modern American cuisine and precision service.
Embraced California's farm-to-table ethos and the Bay Area's obsession with provenance. A philosophy that still defines every menu he writes.
Led kitchen operations for high-volume luxury dining, mastering the art of delivering an intimate experience at scale.
Explored the bold flavors of the South and the Caribbean, weaving new influences into a culinary voice that is entirely his own.
Home base. Chef Steven brings everything he's learned to the tables of Sarasota and wherever the next experience takes him.
Chef Steven Ferdinand brings private chef experiences to Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, and Siesta Key, along with the surrounding Gulf Coast.
From intimate private dinners to hands-on culinary workshops and full-scale pop-up events, every experience is tailored to your table and your space.
