Founder Background: Born in Manhattan, raised in Westchester, Paul has a degree in Engineering Operations.  While growing up was actively involved in the family business Execu-Lunch Inc, one of Westchester first Corporate caterers.  Paul spent 7 years in the US Air Force both flying fighter airplanes as well as working as a program manager of procurement.  Following this he worked for 4 years as a program director of development programs at a systems and software defense contractor before joining the family business.  Once joining Execu-Lunch he led the company through a 400% growth before his father retired.

Story: Top Chef Meals is the brainchild of Paul Ghiron, a mesh of his unique experiences working as a caterer and conversations with his father. Paul found himself heavily involved in the corporate catering world back in 2010, as he worked as the President of The Crystal Spoon Corp. He employed numerous chefs and support staff who catered corporate and business get togethers throughout Westchester county. However, he always found it irksome that his staff was severely underutilized after the huge rush of business lunches they catered everyday.

One day, his father called him up frustrated by the lack of offerings for dinner that a single person is faced with and asked if he wouldn't mind bringing over dinner that night. During the conversation that ensued, the idea of Top Chef Meals was born! Top Chef Meals would use the Crystal Spoon's untapped chef talent to make meals for singles, couples or even families who were too busy to cook or who just wanted a fresh made, chef prepared, healthy, nutritious meal delivered to their home.
