If anyone can win hearts with food, it’s Chef James A. Lauser. As one of the most noted Chefs in the Brandywine Valley, Chef cooks up award winning food at the Christiana Hilton everyday. Whether it’s a banquet for over 100 guests, or an intimate dinner for two in the Brasserie Grille, Chef Lauser’s culinary creations are a delight.

A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Chef Lauser has been passionate about cooking since he was a young man. Growing up in a family of five children, he saw a need to help his two busy parents cooking in their cozy home kitchen. As he grew more comfortable in the craft, his creativity began to flourish. During his Navy years, Chef Lauser took advantage of his travel through the orient to experiment with new flavors and combinations. Today, Chef’s dishes win awards and recognition for their flavor, originality, and creativity. His menu is designed by developing partnerships and relationships with the local community, charities, farmers and vendors. Meet Chef Lauser at the Hilton Estate.
