Elizabeth Rieser

Chef Elizabeth Rieser is a classically trained chef with more than 15 years in the hospitality industry. She is fiercely passionate about local and seasonal cuisine and has had the opportunity to participate in that process all over the world in varying cuisines and venues.

Her journey in hospitality truly began working as part of the award-winning team at Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink in Grand Cayman. The creativity and talent of the chefs, along with the opportunities following that position to travel and soak up culinary culture across Europe, pushed her to cross the line – moving from front of house management into the kitchen with a comprehensive culinary education at L’Academie de Cuisine in Maryland.

For the next seven years, Chef Elizabeth worked for elite restaurants, catering companies, resorts and butcher shops in Washington D.C., Australia, and the Florida Keys – beginning as a Line Cook and quickly moving through the ranks as a Sous Chef and Chef de Cuisine.

Since 2018, Chef Elizabeth has applied her skills and passion to Late Risers Food Truck & Catering in St. Augustine, constantly striving for an excellent culinary experience for all guests.
