Chef Partners

We’re proud to partner with talented chefs who blend tradition, creativity, and community spirit in every dish. With years of experience and a passion for giving back, they trust Little Olive Co. for the quality and flavor their kitchens and communities rely on.

CHEF DAVID SCOTT

Chef David Scott, founder of 86 Hunger Now, brings heart, flavor, and fun to everything he does — both in the kitchen and in the community. Raised in Youngstown, Ohio, he learned to cook out of necessity, turning tough beginnings into a thriving career as an executive chef.


At Little Olive Co., we’re lucky to have him share his talents in our hands-on cooking classes. Guests love his upbeat, down-to-earth teaching style — think fresh pasta, zesty Caesar salads, and cozy pierogies, all made with our favorite oils and vinegars. His classes are equal parts laughter, learning, and delicious bites, making everyone feel right at home in the kitchen.
