Flourish®: A Senior Living Magazine | Fall 2025 Issue

Meet Corporate Executive Chef Christian Gullet

Guiding this refresh is Corporate Executive Chef Christian Gullet. A Memphis native, Christian first discovered his love for food in Southern kitchens before pursuing formal training at the renowned culinary program at Forest Park in St. Louis. Over the course of his career, he has led culinary programs in luxury hotels, health systems, and senior living communities, always with a focus on redefining what dining can be.

Much of Chef Christian’s work is done not just behind the scenes but at the table—sitting with residents, hearing their stories, and learning what foods bring them comfort. As he explains, “Residents are my biggest influence. I talk to them constantly about what they love to eat and what foods feel like home to them. That feedback drives our menus.” Why It Matters

For Chef Christian and the Cedarhurst dining teams, the Crafted program is more than a menu—it’s a way to deliver food that is thoughtful, flavorful, and made with pride. Each new feature represents creativity, care, and a true respect for residents’ preferences. This fall’s rollout has already brought new energy into Cedarhurst kitchens, inspiring chefs and delighting residents alike. The result is clear: meals that nourish body, mind, and spirit while feeling every bit like home.
