Our Hours

Gina Bangser

Known as @ginasnackarita, Chef Gina has built her reputation around the art of the snack — from colorful mezze boards and clever crostini to dips, spreads, and bites that make everyday ingredients shine. A private chef and engaging culinary instructor, she teaches cooking classes that are equal parts fun and practical, filled with the kitchen hacks her students swear deserve a class of their own. She brings food to life through live demonstrations, ghostwrites recipes for food brands, and manages social media for The Joyful Gourmet, always infusing her work with warmth, creativity, and her signature snack-focused flair. Whether she’s plating up a grazing board or guiding a hands-on class, Gina proves that snacks aren’t just food — they’re a lifestyle.
