With an ever-expanding portfolio, Chefs Life empowers cooks everywhere to embrace their culinary potential, one drizzle at a time.

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.
