About Me

Executive Chef Raymond England leads the kitchen at Husk with local purveyors and ingredients at the forefront, truly embracing the spirit of Husk’s identity in highlighting Southern cuisine. With humble beginnings on his family’s cattle farm in rural Idaho, England knows the value of every ingredient that comes through the door. He joined the Husk team in 2022 after years in award-winning kitchens across the country, including time spent working under Top Chef’s Tom Colicchio and Chef Matt Accarrino at Craft in Los Angeles, CA.

In March of 2022, England joined the Husk Charleston team as Executive Chef, where he works to maintain Husk’s ethos of sourcing Southern ingredients and working with local farmers, growers, and fishermen, as well as Husk’s resident gardener to grow new ingredients and put “feeling and meaning into every dish.” He enjoys embracing the wood-fired elements on the menu, revitalizing classic Southern preparations, and introducing new dishes along the way.

England is constantly looking for ways to support the community in his free time–one of his favorites being eating out at local restaurants. He also enjoys spending time with his wife and getting outdoors, whether that’s golfing or tending his home garden.
