Meet Our Senior Executive Chef

Since joining Levy as the BCEC’s Executive Chef in 2017, Chef Kaeo Yuen has utilized more than 20 years of experience in kitchens from Hawaii to Cambridge to create a dynamic, flexible, and unique dining experience. From planning your event to when the last dish is cleared, Chef Yuen and his staff bring culinary visions to life no matter the event.

What is your role in planning as well as preparing food for the events at the BCEC?

My role begins with the creation of the menu that is customized for each show and meeting planner request or requirement. From there we have meetings to discuss the vision and direction the food will be going in, then it gets handed off to the chefs to coordinate in their respective areas.

It is a team approach from beginning to end, with lots of conversation about everything from production, flavor, execution, serving vessel, and theory behind the dish. My role ends when the guests are fed and the dishes are returned.
