Chef Phil DeWar has been harnessing the power of food to foster community and celebrate culture since 2009. As the owner of the beloved Soulyve Restaurant from 2009 to 2019, he evolved from restaurateur to a multifaceted chef, embracing roles as a Private Chef, Caterer, Culinary Consultant, Community Advocate, Educator, and Public Speaker. Now, he’s returning to his catering roots by bringing his modern take on Afro-Caribbean cuisine directly to homes and events. Clients can also stop by the newly opened LyvePatty storefront, featuring gourmet Jamaican patties as an exciting addition to the established Soulyve catering business. In addition, he proudly serves as the official food partner of GoodLot Farm & Farmstead Brewing Co, where he showcases his culinary creativity through the GoodSpot food truck, offering a fresh and vibrant CaribFusion menu.
