Owner/Chef

Chef Chris Galbraith was born and raised near the New Jersey shore, where good food and strong opinions are a way of life. He trained in classical technique at the New England Culinary Institute, then cooked his way through Boston, Martha’s Vineyard, New York City (including a Michelin-starred kitchen), Philadelphia, and more suburbs than he can count—learning along the way that great food doesn’t need to be complicated, it just needs to be done right, every time.

Now based in Delaware, Chris lives with his partner, four kids, two bernedoodles, two cats, a fish, and a frog. He’s a hardcore Philly sports fan, enjoys gardening, prefers food cooked by someone else, and considers the Outer Banks of North Carolina his happy place. A firm believer that today’s chefs would have been pirates 300 years ago, he brings serious technique, clear thinking, and a sense of humor to Peach Grove Market—making everyday food worth caring about, without the drama.

Chef de Cuisine

Chef Nathaniel Adjin-Tettey is a culinary professional with over 20 years experience in fine dining, casual, corporate dining and catering. His Passion for food began at an early age helping my mom in the kitchen doing various tasks.

This led me to pursue a culinary degree at Walnut Hill College in Philadelphia such as Lacroix at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, and the Rittenhouse Hotel as a Saucier.

I relocated to Delaware in 2022, worked at the Christiana Hotel for 6 years, and as an executive chef at the Whist Club. I am now excited to be here at Peach Grove Market as the chef de cuisine.
