Good food doesn't need white tablecloths.

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Casey has spent his career celebrating the region's ingredients and its laid-back hospitality. After honing his craft in fine dining kitchens, he set out to prove that exceptional food doesn't require white tablecloths. It just requires quality ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and a passion for sharing great meals.

That vision became The Chowder Stop in Long Beach, Washington, where Casey built an award-winning restaurant known for its handcrafted clam chowder and approachable Northwest fare. Year after year his chowder earned top honors, and it became a destination for locals and visitors alike. After building and successfully selling the restaurant, Casey chose to return to what he enjoys most: creating memorable, personal dining experiences.

Today, through Driftline Provisions, Casey brings restaurant-quality cooking straight to your table. Whether it's an intimate chef's dinner, a catered celebration, or a week of meals made in your kitchen, every menu is inspired by the flavors of the Pacific Northwest and prepared with the same care that made The Chowder Stop a local favorite.
