About Us
Gather Around...
At Gather San Diego, food is more than what’s on the plate. It’s an experience that connects people, places, and stories. Founded by Chef Oren, Gather was created with one simple idea in mind: to bring warmth and artistry to every occasion through honest, beautifully prepared food.
Every gathering deserves a personal touch and a seamless execution. From intimate private home events to grand weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvas, and corporate celebrations, our dedicated team ensures that every detail reflects your vision with sophistication and style.
Chef Oren Koreh
Growing up in a tiny village situated north of Galilee, my pastoral surroundings allowed me to find a unique connection to the land. As the son of farmers, I spent most of my childhood learning to love and harvest nature's finest, playing in my family's Mango fields overlooking the breathtaking Sea of Galilee, smelling the land, tasting the fruits.
Taking that love and passion and turning it into my career brought me to great adventures, from head chef at top restaurants around the globe, to opening my own restaurant in Tel Aviv and heading a high-end catering company in Silicon Valley. These have all lent to my holistic view of what bringing my passion to others is really all about. Waking up before the crack of dawn to go to the local market and inhale the aromatic smells of fresh produce as inspiration to start my day. Bringing only the freshest California has to offer into every creation.
I have been lucky enough to travel and work around the world, enabling me to 'taste' so much.
I look forward to meeting you, working together to create the event of your dreams.
