A North Carolina native with deep Outer Banks roots, Chef Chory Gard has grown from a young cook at Red Sky into one of the creative forces behind its kitchen today. He brings creativity, precision, and a genuine love of cooking to everything he does, shaped by years of working alongside talented chefs and a curiosity that keeps him exploring new techniques and flavors.

At Red Sky, Chory is known for bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and dishes that are seasonal, thoughtful, and a little unexpected. His love of fresh, local ingredients shines through, from locally sourced seafood and produce to creative takes on familiar favorites. From the Red Sky kitchen to weddings, special events, and intimate Chefs on Call dinners, his focus is always on creating food and experiences guests will remember.

His philosophy is simple: respect the ingredients, keep learning, and never stop evolving. And when the kitchen gets busy? “Just keep swimming.”
