Meet Taylor Duncan

We recently connected with Taylor Duncan and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Taylor, thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?

So growing up and still to this day I get my work ethic from my grandfather who is 87 years old and is a Tow boat captain here in Virginia. This man pushes himself to the limit every single day and it is spectacular to watch. Growing up and seeing him work so hard it made me want to always work hard and push myself for my future family.
Cheers to Bob James at Tow Boat U.S.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

Welcome to Personal Experiences with Chef Taylor
Crafted Cuisine. Meaningful Moments. Unforgettable Flavor.

Meet Chef Taylor Duncan
With over a decade of culinary expertise and a heart rooted in hospitality, I’m Taylor Duncan—your personal chef dedicated to creating extraordinary meals that bring people together. Whether it’s an intimate dinner for two, a vibrant family gathering, or an elegant private event, I turn fresh, seasonal ingredients into memorable experiences.

As a classically trained chef and passionate storyteller through food, I believe every meal should speak to your tastes, your story, and your moment.

What I Offer:
• In-Home Dining Experiences – Custom multi-course meals prepared and served in the comfort of your home
• Weekly Meal Prep – Personalized, chef-crafted dishes tailored to your lifestyle
• Special Event Catering – From birthdays to anniversaries, let me bring the flavor to your celebration
• Cooking Lessons & Demos – Learn new skills, techniques, and recipes one-on-one or in small groups

Why “Personal Experiences”?
Because it’s not just about food—it’s about you. Every dish I create is tailored to your preferences, dietary needs, and vision. You’re not just getting a meal; you’re getting an experience made with care, connection, and culinary excellence.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Hard work
Dedication
Time management

The advice I can offer is don’t bite off more than you can chew and have a plan… Do things in stages and don’t do everything all at once.
People can wait and you don’t have to push yourself so hard!

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

I am looking for collaborators of all kinds to join me in my culinary journey (Bartenders, party planners, sommeliers, other chefs, air bnb owners and exclusive picnic planners)
