His first restaurant opening, Garageland in Spokane, Washington—where he served as opening chef and helped physically build the bar and kitchen- Garageland was recognized by National Geographic as the most “hipster” bar in America. That first experience made something immediately clear: great food, great service, and a great location are not enough. Successful restaurants are built on systems, financial discipline, and operational clarity—skills that are learned, not inherited. After returning to the East Coast, Alexander founded AchefA Consulting (now chefconsults), a name inspired by a nickname he earned while working as sous chef at a private Rockefeller family club in upstate New York. Through AchefA, he helped open new restaurants and guide existing ones, contributing to the growth and resilience of the New York City dining scene. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Alexander worked closely with operators to adapt quickly and survive. His work included developing to-go concepts, designing compliant street dining layouts, creating safety and sanitation protocols, renegotiating vendor contracts, streamlining purchasing systems, resolving health department violations, and implementing workplace training programs. He also supported restaurants with menu development, PR events, website design tied to social media, increased web traffic, and site selection throughout the New York region. He is currently available for short- and long-term consulting engagements throughout the Country, offering hands-on, practical solutions for restaurant openings, turnarounds, and operational improvement, as well as select private chef appearances. https://www.chefconsults.com/membership daily 0.75 2026-02-03 https://www.chefconsults.com/private-chef daily 0.75 2026-02-02 https://www.chefconsults.com/gallery daily 0.75 2026-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fad21d1b5187111b713c46/49bc7751-7e24-4698-ad7e-415633d80777/IMG_1547.jpg Gallery A colorful salad on a white plate containing mixed greens, yellow sauce, beetroot, tomato, melon, and a dollop of white cheese, garnished with drizzles of red and green sauces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fad21d1b5187111b713c46/71ba7590-0284-4656-a9b5-b82e8c321dfe/IMG_1581.jpg Gallery Multiple servings of egg rolls topped with sliced cucumbers, radishes, and shredded carrots on white plates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fad21d1b5187111b713c46/90d5b377-0a88-4a42-9e1b-4f553199bf1b/IMG_1578.jpg Gallery A table filled with traditional Greek dishes including grilled pita bread, tzatziki, hummus, sliced melon, fried fish, grilled chicken salad, grilled meatballs, and fried squid, alongside bottles of beer on ice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fad21d1b5187111b713c46/3b8076fb-66af-48a9-8e7f-4e18d70053d2/Resized_Resized_20220411_171415.jpeg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fad21d1b5187111b713c46/a89e7573-b76b-4308-b9f1-9fdb42ce9351/IMG_1579.jpg Gallery Deviled eggs garnished with chopped chives, paprika, and topped with crispy bacon strips, arranged on a bed of mixed greens on a white serving platter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fad21d1b5187111b713c46/71841144-7b5b-4465-a3c5-20fe01662c8a/IMG_1285.jpeg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fad21d1b5187111b713c46/0146267d-d51a-4fa0-8448-b69c7d4babf1/IMG_1580.jpg Gallery Multiple plates of sushi featuring various rolls, sashimi, and garnishes with vegetables and sauces on a table. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fad21d1b5187111b713c46/46e89c55-8d0e-4cdb-825a-ebd3454959a8/IMG_1582.jpeg Gallery Appetizer bites with round, dark bread bases topped with cheese, shrimp, and colorful sliced vegetables on a white rectangular platter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fad21d1b5187111b713c46/3ee0f798-8e31-4da6-a6b6-7a16803cffed/IMG_1548.jpg Gallery A kitchen counter with several white plates, a metal tray with fresh green leaves and shredded orange carrots, small bottles of sauces, and bowls of red and yellow sauces.
