Welcome to the World of Chef Brett McKee & His Exceptional Culinary Team

Step into an unforgettable culinary experience led by Chef Brett McKee—one of Charleston’s most celebrated chefs—and his extraordinary  team of culinary and hospitality professionals.

Chef Brett’s five-decade journey began in Brooklyn and Long Island and took him through the kitchens of Saint Barts, New York City, the Hamptons, and finally to Charleston, South Carolina, where he has become an iconic figure in the city’s vibrant food scene. Brett built his reputation through beloved establishments such as Brett’s, Union Hall, Oak Steakhouse, and Oku Sushi, and now brings that same passion, artistry, and relentless pursuit of excellence to the world of private dining.

Today’s Chef Brett experience is powered by much more than one man. It is driven by one of the strongest teams in the Southeast.

At Brett’s side for over six years is Chef Emmy B—a gifted chef and trusted right hand who has grown into one of the top chefs in Charleston under Brett’s mentorship. Emmy is integral to every part of the business—from menu development, proposals, and event planning, to prep, execution, and service. With Emmy helping run day-to-day operations and creative vision, Brett’s team delivers consistently exceptional experiences.

Brett’s daughter, Cameron McKee, brings another vital dimension to the table. As the founder of Charleston Premier Events, Cameron provides full-service event coordination and design. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a lavish wedding, or a corporate gathering, the combined strength of Cameron’s team and Brett’s culinary group offers clients true one-stop shopping—seamless event planning paired with world-class cuisine and hospitality.

Surrounding this core team is an elite roster of Charleston’s most talented chefs, servers, and hospitality professionals. Every event is staffed with top-tier talent to ensure that clients experience the very best of Charleston’s culinary and service community. Whether or not Brett is present at every event (with his upcoming book tour on the horizon), clients can trust that no detail will be overlooked, no experience diminished. The strength of this team is what allows the business to grow, thrive, and serve clients at the highest level, every single time.

So whether you’re planning an elegant private dinner, a destination wedding, a milestone celebration, or a corporate retreat, look no further. Chef Brett McKee, Chef Emmy B, Cameron McKee, and this exceptional team stand ready to exceed your expectations and create memories you will never forget.
