Chef Ellie's world famous pierogis

Chef Ellie Jones, the driving force behind Ellie’s Gourmet, is the essential ingredient that defines the culinary enterprise.

Similar to many talented chefs nationwide, Ellie's culinary journey began in her homeland of Ukraine, where she honed her skills under the guidance of her exceptional grandmother and mother, both talented cooks who specialized in home-style cuisine.

After relocating to New York City as a teenager, Ellie immersed herself in the restaurant industry, working in various roles across different establishments and cuisines. Her time in New York served as her culinary education, culminating in her role as head chef before making the move to Hilton Head Island in 2016.

Throughout her career on the island and its environs, Chef Ellie continued to expand her culinary horizons, eventually embarking on her own venture by founding Ellie’s Gourmet. Along the way, she gained recognition for her renowned Pierogis, showcasing her culinary expertise and passion for creating exceptional dishes.

At Ellie's Gourmet, we excel in all things food-related, offering a diverse range of services to cater to your culinary needs. From intimate private chef dinners to large-scale events, cocktail receptions, catering, meal prep, and, of course, our renowned Pierogis, we do it all with passion and expertise.

Our extensive menu is designed to satisfy every palate, with options ranging from vegan to gluten-free to accommodate all dietary preferences. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted and customized to your taste and event, with seasonal rotations to ensure the use of only the freshest and most flavorful ingredients.
