About Flamingo Pete's
The Flamingo Story
If you’re looking for the duo who can sear a steak, pair it with a wine that sings, and still make you laugh while torching your crème brûlée—meet Pete and Gina.
Pete’s culinary journey started the old-fashioned way: scrubbing pots, working his way up from dishwasher to Executive Chef through the chaos of restaurant kitchens. In 2017, fate (and a little bit of restaurant magic) brought Gina into his life. She was the poised fine-dining professional, he was the chef glued to the line—and together they found not only love, but the spark that would eventually grow into Flamingo Pete’s.
While Pete crafts the flavors, Gina brings the vision—organizing, planning, and ensuring every detail of your event is seamless. She’s been a driving force in their growth since day one, balancing Pete’s creativity with her sharp eye for service and hospitality.
Together, they’ve built a private chef experience that feels both refined and relaxed: fine dining with a coastal Florida soul. At Flamingo Pete’s, every plate tells a story—and every meal feels like a celebration.
