Tyler Peek

The Climb

Training at Le Cordon Bleu gave Tyler Peek the kind of base that shows up in the work: repetition, discipline, and a methodical hand before service ever starts. The early kitchen floor came next at Ace Hotel, Kings Highway in Palm Springs, where the pace of the line and the demands of service began to shape how he worked. That setting marked the point where classroom fundamentals met the realities of production and timing. By 2013, the work had narrowed into a clearer title as co-founder and head chef of Sama Sama Kitchen, where Tyler Peek could apply that foundation in a more defined setting. He also serves as chef of Sate House, extending that same approach into another kitchen. The pattern is straightforward: formal training, early line experience, then a role that reflects years spent refining rather than rushing.

Today

His title there is co-founder and Head Chef.

In Their Words “I quickly fell in love with cooking and decided to go to culinary school soon after.”
