The Chef's Twist is a culinary systems company built on a simple belief: every kitchen should serve real food that nourishes people. We exist for the move away from processed-food dependency and back toward cooking that connects us to ingredients, nutrition, and the healing power of food.
Build disciplined, profitable kitchens while creating accessible pathways from home cook to workforce-ready professional.
Become a nationally recognized culinary systems brand that integrates structured education, contractor workforce development, and operational excellence.
The Chef's Twist was founded by Chef Andrew Collins in Las Vegas, NV. With more than 20 years of hospitality leadership, Chef Andrew brings a professional culinary authority rooted in real kitchen background — not a food blog.
He's a systems thinker who translates professional kitchen discipline into accessible education: calm authority, no gimmicks — the opposite of trend-chasing influencer content. That perspective is the foundation of everything the company builds.
Chef Andrew's path runs from a childhood spent around food to formal training, two decades on professional lines, and the work happening today beyond the kitchen.
Long before the white coats and the Las Vegas dining rooms, there was a kid who loved being around food and family. The Chef's Twist starts here — with the belief that cooking is something everyone deserves to grow up with.
Chef Andrew earned his formal culinary training at Le Cordon Bleu, turning a lifelong love of food into professional discipline — knife skills, fundamentals, and the standards that still define how he works today.
Two decades in Las Vegas hospitality followed — including time in rooms like Aureole. Real kitchens, real service, real pressure. That experience, not a food blog, is the authority behind everything we build.

The Chef's Twist now works beyond kitchens — through independent operating partners like GreenSideUp, connecting growing, kitchens, and community. Because everyone is served. That is the twist.
In March 2026, Chef Andrew built KIM — the Kitchen Intelligence Manager — in 12 days, turning two decades of kitchen experience into a tool any kitchen can use from a single photo.
The Chef's Twist is the culinary systems company at the center. KIM is our flagship technology. And around us is an ecosystem of independent partners who share the same table.
Culinary services, meal prep, catering, nutrition education, food literacy, community programming, and food systems development — built from real kitchen experience.
