Our Story

Welcome To The Gurley Chef

The Gurley Chef (TGC) is of course a play on my name, Iman Gurley. I graduated from the Art Institute of Atlanta in 2004 and began my career as a personal chef for philanthropists and celebrities throughout the greater Atlanta area. My experience also includes serving as the Culinary Expert for Williams Sonoma where I taught cooking classes, developed recipes and curated everything needed to enhance a foodie’s repertoire across the southeast region of the U.S.
