ABOUT

In Dallas, Stevie joined the underground cult phenomenon Baby Routh, working with Stephan Pyles and Kevin Rathbun. He found a pivotal mentor in "collision cuisine" legend Marc Cassel before moving to the high desert of Santa Fe. There, he joined Mark Miller during the revolutionary era of the five-star indigenous landmark, Coyote Cafe. These kitchens were the laboratories where his creative nucleus was forged—indelibly shaping the artistry and disciplined professionalism he brings to the plate today.
Stevie’s reach as an Executive Chef spans premier resorts, restaurants, film sets, and the private world of the Fortune 500. He has carried his craft into the world’s most extreme frontiers—helming kitchens in the humidity of the jungle, on the floor of the Grand Canyon, and at alpine heights of 9,200 feet above the sea. From mountain peaks to the Caribbean depths, Stevie thrives where the environment informs the menu, bringing a seasoned, boundless passion to every plate.

DEEPER ...
Stevie’s search for the healing truth within food led him to cook with shamans and indigenous elders in sacred tribal ceremonies. To bridge the ancient with the analytical, he collaborated with healers, physicists, and practitioners of Eastern medicine to examine the relationship between energy and the body. These awakenings revealed his core message: "Your true power lives between the atoms of food, not the physical food itself." This perspective has brought miraculous change to his life—and the lives of those he serves.
Stevie began experimenting with the frequency of intention, observing how it directly dictates wellbeing. The results were undeniable: the internal state of the chef transfers into the dish, fundamentally affecting the mood and vitality of everyone at the table. Driven by a newfound curiosity, he researched ancient and modern techniques to develop a signature "intention-instilling" method—a practice that revolutionized his daily life and redefined the act of cooking as a sacred, energetic transmission.
Stevie put his method to the ultimate test when faced with severe mercury poisoning. Through a dedicated shift in consciousness and the power of radical gratitude, he experienced a profound healing that defied conventional expectations. From this recovery, Gratifood® was born—a unique, energetic guide to imbuing comfort food with your own inner healing frequency. It is more than a cookbook; it is a map for transforming the meals you love into the medicine you need.
In his upcoming book, Stevie invites you to "taste your aliveness"—to find the space between the notes where time ceases and the mind falls silent. Here, you realize you are not your thoughts; the core of your reality is love. Through these landmark discoveries, Stevie is dedicated to bringing you "back home" to your own inner power. Gratifood® is his invitation to reclaim your sovereignty and remember who you are, in the most delicious way possible.
