With over 15 years of refined culinary expertise, Chef Onur Akan is the visionary founder and executive chef of Chef Akan Experiences. Born and raised in the enchanting Black Sea region of Turkey, in the coastal city of Samsun, Chef Onur’s earliest memories are rich with the warmth of family gatherings, where love and joy were shared through the art of food. These cherished moments have profoundly shaped his belief that life should be a celebration filled with love, happiness, and exquisite cuisine.

Driven by this passion, Chef Onur embarked on a remarkable journey that led him to the United States at the age of 19. His unwavering commitment to his craft guided him through culinary school, where he honed his skills and earned the prestigious certification from the American Culinary Federation.
