The Flying Onion is a Personal Chef and Catering Service started in 2001 by Chris Wozniak. We specialize in two basic types of services. The Personal Chef Service involves the preparation and storing of meals (usually on a weekly basis) for busy households. Meals are consumed during the week with nothing more than a simple reheating. The Catering Service involves the execution of menus for events such as receptions, dinner parties, brunches, etc.

All food is prepared using freshly purchased ingredients, on-site, in your kitchen whenever possible. Particularly with catered events, this avoids the need to serve reheated food. The goal is to always provide unique, interesting and flavorful dishes. We pull from a wide range of culinary styles to create our menus.

The Flying Onion is a two Chef operation. Either Chris or Debra are in attendance preparing the food at all of the events. We contract with a small group of qualified cooks when help is needed in the kitchen and we work regularly with a group of, what we consider to be, some of the best serve staff in Cleveland.

Chris Wozniak has worked as the Executive Chef for the Cleveland Museum of Art, Heck's Catering and Marigold's Catering. He was formerly with the faculty of ICASI and was  a guest instructor at the Escuela de Hosterleria y Turismo de Valencia, Spain. He is certified in food protection by the Ohio Dept. of Health.

Debra Kraus worked as a catering chef for five years in Naples, Florida prior to becoming part of Flying Onion. Debra has worked with several food network personalities and continues to work as a Food Stylist here in Cleveland. Debra graduated from ICASI and is certified in food protection by the Ohio Dept. of Health.
