Peter Olsacher, Carolina Gourmet's executive chef, has always been passionate about food and travelling. He began his culinary career in his native Austria, where he worked at Michelin-starred "Hotel Post" in Villach for 3 years under executive chef Heinz Wiener. He then worked for 8 years in the Cayman Islands in some of the finest restaurants and resorts in the area. Afterwards, he returned to Austria to serve as the executive chef at the restaurant "Oscar." He was awarded a Michelin star in the first year after it opened.
Peter then moved to Orlando, Florida, where he worked as a Corporate Executive Chef of a Fortune 500 company for more than 20 years. During that time, he enjoyed competing in Culinary competitions and was awarded 12 gold medals, including 2 during national conventions of the American Culinary Federation in Las Vegas and Washington DC.
In 2020, Peter and his wife, Mayra, moved to Mooresville, NC, to open Carolina Gourmet. It is his great joy to apply his 40 years of professional culinary experience to offer fresh, gourmet meals for people to enjoy in the comfort of their own homes.

Amazing food! The quality is unmatched in the LKN area. We order to save time and to know it will be awesome. I highly recommend ordering from Chef Peter. The steaks and sides are my favorites

I have an event venue in the heart of Cornelius, Mill Events, and we have been doing events for over ten years. The owners of CG were absolutely lovely and so easy to work with! I enjoyed having them in my venue, and the food was outstanding. I will definitely be recommending them to my future clients!
Jackie Forman
We had a wonderful experience with Chef Peter and Carolina Gourmet. They catered several meals for our group, which enhanced the beautiful wedding weekend we had at Lake Norman. The food was incredible, and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for catering in the Lake Norman area!

Professional, Quality Food & Responsiveness!
The food quality and taste are outstanding!!! Best Shrimp Scampi I have ever had. My employees raved about their sandwiches.
Raymond Halstead
We hired Carolina Gourmet to deliver all of our meals for our recent team offsite. They cooked for a team of 35, and the food was incredible. Having pre-delivered meals allowed us to prepare dinner when we were ready — and the food was amazing. I would highly recommend.
