Who's cooking

Two chefs, one kitchen philosophy.

Hudson & Gold is run by David Wais and Dan Abikzer — two chefs with 10-15+ years each in the kitchen, trained in both kosher and non-kosher cooking, and ready for the room you're actually in, from a weeknight fridge restock to a full production crew.

David Wais

Co-Founder & Chef

A personal chef and caterer with 15+ years of experience cooking across all types of cuisines, bringing his own creative touch to every dish. He spent years in the production world on the West Coast, running crafty and catering on set, curating private dinners and supper clubs, and staying involved with several restaurants along the way. He's the face of Hudson & Gold, handling bookings, partnerships, and PR, so he's usually the first person you'll hear from.

Dan Abikzer

Co-Founder & Chef

A chef with 10+ years of experience catering for high-profile private clients. His background spans private cheffing, corporate dinners, and private events, along with time as a restaurateur. He leads menu development and the kitchen, the person behind every dish, from private dinners to full production catering.

What we cook

Four ways to work with us.

Private In-Home Dinners

A seasonal, multi-course menu cooked in your kitchen — for two, or for a table of twelve. Menus built around what's good right now and what you actually like to eat.

Weekly Meal Prep

A stocked fridge without the grocery run. Recurring, portioned meals built around your week, your dietary needs, and your appetite for leftovers.

Events & Catering

Dinner parties, celebrations, and private gatherings — full-service cooking, plating, and cleanup so the host gets to actually attend their own party.

Film, Corporate & On-Set Catering

Craft services and full meal service for production crews, corporate offices, and one-off occasions — built to run on a call sheet, not a dinner-party clock. David has cooked on productions for Food Network, Cooking Channel, and FX.
