NEW – Chef U Is Coming To Wildwood
A fresh and flavorful new concept is cooking up in Wildwood’s downtown district — and it’s not your typical takeout joint.

NEW – Chef U Is Coming To Wildwood
Chef U at the Beach is opening soon at 5209 Pacific Avenue, filling the space left behind by Tara Kitchen, which recently closed after four seasons.
But this isn’t just another grab-and-go eatery.
Chef U is bringing something new to the table — literally. Their innovative concept blends gourmet-style takeout with interactive cooking classes, giving customers the chance to enjoy delicious meals and learn how to make them.
Chef U offers a weekly rotating menu packed with mouthwatering options that feel both upscale and comforting.
A quick look at their sample dishes reveals items like marinated steak tips with twice-baked potatoes and veggies, grilled chicken penne in garlic and oil, and hand-breaded chicken cutlets with roasted potatoes.
And for those craving a true taste of home? Try “Mommom’s Spaghetti & Meatballs,” featuring a slow-cooked red gravy straight from the founder’s family recipe vault.

But these are just some of the options they offer. They even offer desserts such as Apple Cake, Carrot Cake, Chcolate Chip Ricotta Cake, Tiramisu and more.
The idea behind Chef U isn’t just to serve meals — it’s to create an experience. Through their in-house cooking classes, the team aims to make culinary education fun, accessible, and hands-on. It’s the perfect date night, family activity, or skill-building experience for locals and vacationers alike.
For now, their hours will be Thursday through Sunday from 8am until 8pm.
Whether you’re looking for a chef-prepared meal without the fuss, or want to sharpen your cooking chops in a relaxed beach town setting, Chef U is poised to deliver.
