Meet the chefs…

Executive Chef Greg Giebler

Growing up in Highlands, New Jersey, a fisherman’s town, Chef Greg developed a deep love for locally sourced seafood. He began his formal training at the Academy of Culinary Arts. His career then expanded with an upscale dining experience at Café Loren in Cape May, where his passion for French cuisine grew. Inspired by Chef Sean Brock’s emphasis on indigenous ingredients, chef Greg moved to Nashville’s renowned Husk, learning the art of preservation and open-fire cooking. Returning to the Jersey Shore, he became Chef de Cuisine at Heirloom in Asbury Park, specializing in Modern American cuisine with local, sustainable ingredients. As the Executive Chef at Anzu Social, Chef Greg has turned his focus on Asian-inspired small plates, blending flavors from China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam mixed with his foundation in French and Nordic techniques, using fresh produce from local farms, fishermen, and foragers.
