Moto Chef
Born from a passion for adventure, community, and great food, Moto Chef blends the thrill of the ride with the artistry of the kitchen. Chef Eric Rud takes fine dining off the grid — cooking over open fire, in remote locations, for riders and explorers who share a love for the road less traveled.
A lifelong obsession with motorcycles alongside years of professional dining experience, Eric built Moto Chef around a simple idea: fueling adventure through food. Whether it’s a backcountry rally, a mountaintop dinner, or a fire-lit feast after a long day in the saddle, Moto Chef celebrates good people, good company, and the joy of sharing a meal under the open sky.
fueling the adventure
I’m Eric Rud, a Michelin-recommended chef with years of experience in some of San Francisco’s finest kitchens—and an avid motorcyclist with a love for adventure. Moto Chef is where my passions for food, bikes, and the open road come together, creating unforgettable dining experiences tailored to every event. For me, it’s all about good food, great company, and the shared stories that make every ride and every meal special.
