Founded by Chef Matt Binkley, Culinary Search Group was born from a deep passion for food, service, and the art of creating unforgettable experiences. Matt brings over 20 years of global experience as a private chef, nutritionist, consultant, culinary professor, and published author. His journey began at just 15 years old and led him to apprentice under some of the world’s most celebrated chefs, including Jean-Georges Vongerichten, Michael Stadtländer, and Mark McEwan. Holding a degree in Nutrition and Nutraceutical Sciences, Matt blends refined culinary technique with deep nutritional understanding.
Matt’s career has taken him across the globe, from exclusive private islands to mega-yachts and Arctic expeditions. Among his most notable clients are the Prince of Monaco, numerous professional athletes, A-list celebrities, high-level politicians, and the world’s ultra elite. In 2013, Matt was invited to interview for the role of Private Nutritional Chef to the King of Jordan. With this experience and insight, he returned to Canada with a renewed purpose: to raise the bar in luxury staffing and create a trusted solution for discerning clients in need of excellence.
What sets us apart is not just our experience, it’s our standard. We anticipate our clients’ needs before they’re spoken. We understand the importance of discretion, subtlety, timing, and detail. And we know that great hospitality is more than service, it’s a feeling. That’s what we aim to deliver in every interaction. We’ve contracted thousands of professionals for luxury residences, five-star hotels, boutique catering companies, healthcare institutions, high-profile galas, and private dinner parties alike. Whether it’s a two-person estate dinner in Rosedale or a 200-guest wedding in Muskoka, Culinary Search Group delivers consistency, elegance, and peace of mind.
