About

A Maui-based catering team that delivers customized, beautifully executed and unforgettable culinary experiences.

Owner and chef Brian Etheredge has been captivated by the culinary world since he was 13 years old. Delving into the world of elite restaurants after graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, he arrived in Maui in 1998 where he opened the award-winning restaurant Capische. Starting out with only nine tables, Capische soon expanded to three dining rooms with thirty tables. The restaurant received high recognition and acclaim offering private chefs and on and off premise catering. Capische also provided food service for the beautiful Wailea Hotel in Maui.

During his time on the islands Chef Etheredge has become a leader in shaping the culinary scene across Hawaii and has been an advocate for sustainability before it became an industry norm. Etheredge has been working with the same local farmers for more than 19 years. His relationships with the growers and producers ensure the freshest local ingredients which not only taste better, but help to sustain the environment and support the community. Brian is also a commercial fisherman with the ability and knowledge to handpick the best quality seafood for an exceptional dining experience.

Brian has excelled as both a chef and restaurant owner, winning numerous awards ranging from Maui Chef of the Year to Restaurant of the Year and Most Romantic Restaurant. He is widely acclaimed for his culinary innovations, creative dishes, and welcoming hospitality.

Through Private Maui Chef, Brian provides impeccable, customized private chef services for smaller gatherings. He created Cutting Edge Catering to offer high-end catering services for larger events, offering the same dedication and attention to detail that earned him wide-spread renown at his restaurant Capische.

As a father and chef Brian Etheredge believes that food is about making memories. His catered events and exquisite culinary masterpieces are accompanied by a full scene-setting so every diner has an experience that lasts far beyond the final bite of dessert.

We could not be happier with our experience with Cutting Edge Catering! From the very beginning, Chef Brian went above and beyond. Before even planning the menu, Brian scheduled a thoughtful call to get to know us as a couple — our tastes, favorite flavors, and the overall vibe we wanted for our wedding. It was clear from that first conversation that they genuinely cared about making our day feel personal and special.

The custom menu they crafted was nothing short of spectacular. Reading it beforehand already had us excited, but when the big day came, the food somehow exceeded all expectations. Each dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. From the very first bite to the final course, everything was flawless.

Our guests are still raving about the food weeks later, and many told us it was the best wedding meal they’d ever had. The entire catering team was professional, attentive, and warm, making the whole experience seamless and joyful.

If you want a team that listens, tailors everything to you, and delivers a culinary experience your guests will never forget, look no further than Cutting Edge Catering. They helped make our wedding truly unforgettable.

My husband and I both agree that hiring Cutting Edge for our wedding caterer was one of the best decisions we could’ve made. Our planner did not lie when she told us they were the best of the best. Not only was the food some of the best we’ve ever had but the service was so impressive. The presentation and service of the food made it feel like such a luxurious experience. Our guests continue to tell us that they had some of the best food of their lives that night! We’re SO glad we decided to go with Cutring Edge. It is something we will never forget!

Honestly, the entire team at Cutting Edge Catering was amazing! As wine professionals from a region known for world-class hospitality and fine dining, we had high expectations—and Cutting Edge exceeded every one of them.

Numerous guests commented on how delicious the food was, from the passed apps to the beautifully executed mains. We know firsthand how difficult it is to deliver elevated dishes for a large group, and the team absolutely knocked it out of the park. Every bite was flavorful, fresh, and flawlessly plated.

The bar and service staff were equally outstanding—polished, professional, and warm. They struck the perfect balance between attentive and relaxed, making our guests feel well taken care of while keeping the energy upbeat and fun.

We also deeply appreciated all the help leading up to the event. The coordination, setup, and seamless execution made the entire day feel effortless from our side. We were truly blown away by the team’s hard work and excellence.

If you’re looking for elevated, professional catering on Maui that rivals top-tier restaurants, look no further than Cutting Edge. They deliver on every level.

THE TALK OF THE WEDDING! Cutting Edge went above and beyond to make sure that our food was fresh, presented well, and tasty! Every single person who I have spoken to about their experience at the wedding mentions how impressive the food was. I couldn't agree more, Chef Brian and his team were simply excellent. They were thoughtful in their menu curation and delivery.

One of our guests briefly saw the "football playbook" that the Cutting Edge team put together to keep track of allergies and dietary restrictions (we had a lot of them) and stated, "it was one of the most masterful pieces of organization I've ever seen".

Thank you so much to the Cutting Edge team for keeping everyone in our wedding safe from serious allergens, creating a masterful and thoughtful menu, and delivering dishes that went above and beyond!
