Founding Story

Chefs Life began as a spark of inspiration during a time of global uncertainty. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Food Network TV Star Brian "Shenanigans" Malarkey found himself connecting with home chefs through virtual cooking classes. As he shared his expertise, he noticed a recurring challenge: the overwhelming array of people cooking with olive oil vs just finishing with it! This realization ignited a mission to simplify the cooking oil category and create products that cater to every stage of the culinary process.


Drawing from decades of restaurant experience and a deep understanding of flavor and functionality, Chef Malarkey envisioned a line of premium oils designed with both the professional and home chef in mind. Chefs Life was born out of this vision—to provide versatile, high-quality cooking oils that take the guesswork out of the kitchen while elevating everyday dishes.


Launched with the goal of empowering cooks everywhere, Chefs Life merges Chef Malarkey’s culinary expertise with his belief in the transformative power of good food. From searing to sautéing to dressing, Chefs Life oils are crafted to deliver exceptional performance and flavor, making every cooking experience approachable, enjoyable, and unforgettable.

Yahoo Health - Jan 06, 2025 The best portion-control tools to keep in your kitchen, according to registered dietitians "When it comes to controlling the amount of oil you use during cooking, look no further than Chef's Life Cooking and Finishing oils. Sold individually and in packs, these premium cooking oils come in convenient squeeze bottles, making controlling the amount of oil you use much easier than with a traditional oil bottle with a wide mouth. We tried all four varieties of squeezable oils: organic avocado oil, organic extra virgin olive oil, cooking oil blend and extra virgin olive oil. The olive oils each had a fresh, almost grassy flavor, while the cooking oils (avocado oil and oil blend) had milder flavors. Both our tester and her husband enjoyed how easy it was to control the amount of oil being used. Since oil is calorie-dense, many people trying to lose weight limit their oil consumption. These squeezable oils make it easier to control the amount of oil used, making them ideal for people who want to limit the oil they consume."
Eat This, Not That! - Aug 18, 2024 I Tried 15 Popular Olive Oils & the Best Was Wonderfully Delicate "Rated #8 out of 15 olive oils. This product line comes from restaurateur Brian Malarkey and includes quality oil blends packaged in squeezable plastic bottles. The EVOO is made from organic olives. The look: This oil has a paler, more transparent, and diluted color than others in this test. The taste: The oil is slightly fruity and peppery. It would add a pop of piquant flavor to finished cold dishes and dipped bread but is likely too flavorful to be used for high-heat cooking."
