Meet Robert Barth, Owner and Chef

Chef Rob was born and raised in Orange County. He developed a passion for cooking during his childhood, which was filled with large Italian family gatherings that revolved around one thing, food. 

Chef Rob studied at the Art Institute of California–Santa Ana. After graduating he worked for a total of 15 years in the foodservice industry. Chef Rob began working at the local pizza establishment at 16 years old. He also managed Nekter Juice Bar, fulfilling his passion for health and wellness. He gained cooking experience and established himself as a lead line cook at the Rooftop Lounge, K'ya Bistro and La Casa Del Camino Hotel in Laguna Beach.


Eager to explore and learn, Chef Rob traveled to Europe in 2016 and took various cooking classes throughout Italy. Shopping in local markets and preparing traditional dishes from different regions. His instructors instilled an appreciation for cooking simple recipes using the best ingredients. This left a lasting impression on him. 


Chef Rob worked at Ironwood Laguna Hills since its inception in 2016, where he spent 7 years as Head Chef. After spending over a decade in fast-paced, high-volume restaurants, Chef Rob is transitioning to the private chef industry, where he can create a more personal experience for his clients. He has worked closely with local purveyors, sourcing the freshest produce, fish, and meats, showcasing his passion for farm-to-table cuisine. Chef Rob loves using local, seasonal ingredients. How the produce is grown, the meat is raised, and the seafood is obtained are of extreme importance to him. Food is his passion. He believes cooking is a form of art. Every ingredient must be respected, every dish must be balanced, and every plate must be beautiful. 


On his time off, you might see Rob at a local brewery, enjoying a refreshing lager with his friends and family. He loves making food at home and traveling (eating) around the world. Above all, he loves spending time with his Wife, Son, and his Labrador.
