About The Chef
Carlos Cabral
Hello, I'm Carlos! I'm a Michelin-trained chef who has worked alongside highly regarded chefs and caterers throughout the East Coast and Midwest. I spent my childhood in the United States and Paraguay, a small South American country with a robust Guarani culture. Growing up on a farm and during my time in Paraguay, I learned to cook over an open fire, butchery, and regenerative farming practices at a young age. Upon graduating high school, I enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. Upon graduation, I enrolled in my alma mater's Manager-In-Training program in the high-volume kitchen, The Egg at CIA. I continued to train and lead some of the most well-respected establishments in the country, including Hunt & Harvest, Ai Fiori (1 Michelin Star), Baltusrol, and Resident NYC (Michelin Recognized). I've had the privilege of staging in some of the world's best restaurants, including Blue Hill at Stone Barns (2 Michelin Stars), The Nomad Hotel NYC (1 Michelin Star), Inn at Little Washington (3 Michelin Stars), and Eleven Madison Park (3 Michelin Stars). In recent years, I was the Culinary Director for Hecks Restaurants and Catering Chef for Spice Hospitality Group, both located in Cleveland, Ohio.

Our intimate dinner for two and evening with Carlos was just perfect - there is no other way to describe it. We were beyond impressed with the professionalism, company and my goodness gracious, the food. What a gem of a find! At the consultation stage, Carlos told me over the phone to rest assured that everything was taken care of and that all we had to do was relax. He created such an environment that we were able to do just that. Best food we've had in a very long time.
Caesura created a magical vegan evening for us. Their attention to detail and commitment to using local and responsibly sourced ingredients made our wedding truly special.
Sometimes you just get "lucky." Our caterer had a problem with timing for a party we were planning. We frantically looked for another caterer. My wife found Thumbtack! She contacted Carlos 6 days prior to our party! She explained the type of food/menu we were interested in. Carlos listened and made a few suggestions...keeping within our budget. His suggestions were perfect. Once the menu was confirmed, Carlos coordinated all the preparations. He kept us informed about each dish as he purchased the ingredients and actually sent us pictures during the cooking process. He also had his staff arrive early to help set up. INCREDIBLE! Carlos has a passion for cooking. He was amazing. He and his staff were professional, respectful, attentive, and very helpful! The food he prepared was OUTSTANDING. I have already recommended him to friends. As I initially said...sometimes you just get lucky. Well, I can't express how satisfied we were with the whole experience with Carlos/Caesura. Everyone raved about the food and the cake his pastry chef prepared was delicious. Frankly, I can't say enough about him and his staff. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS SERVICES!
