Chef Heshy Surkis was born into the world of hospitality, honing his skills as a young adult while working alongside his father in the family’s catering business. From those early days in the kitchen, he developed not only a passion for food but also an appreciation for the care and detail that turn meals into memorable experiences. Determined to refine his craft, Heshy pursued formal training and graduated from culinary school, where he mastered classical techniques and sharpened his ability to merge tradition with innovation.

His career soon took him to the forefront of the kosher catering world, where he served as Executive Chef at Lou G. Seigel’s, a longtime favorite and legendary name in kosher dining and events. At Seigel’s, Heshy oversaw countless high-profile celebrations, earning a reputation for his ability to combine culinary artistry with flawless execution.

Building on this foundation, Chef Heshy launched Corporate Events and Catering, a company dedicated to creating extraordinary experiences for conventions, galas, and corporate retreats. With a focus on excellence, personalized service, and world-class cuisine, the company quickly became a trusted name for organizations seeking events that inspire and impress.

Most recently, Heshy expanded his vision with the creation of Luxor Destinations, a spinoff brand designed exclusively for kosher destination weddings and personal events. Luxor brings the same uncompromising quality and creativity to couples and families celebrating life’s most meaningful milestones in breathtaking locations around the globe.

Whether orchestrating a corporate gala for thousands or an intimate wedding on the beach, Chef Heshy Surkis is guided by the same philosophy: to deliver elegance, flavor, and unforgettable moments that bring people together around the table.
