Cooking with Creativity: Chef Sam | Ayer, MA

The one and only female head chef at Alltown Fresh, Chef Sam from Ayer, runs her kitchen like a girl boss and sprinkles a little chaos on every plate. She calls her cooking style “kind of like jazz”—never the same twice but always hitting the right notes.

Sam’s all about taking familiar favorites and flipping them on their head. Her buffalo chicken wrap gets a drizzle of maple syrup for that sweet-and-spicy kick, and her Cuban? She layers it with caramelized onions for that extra punch of flavor.

But Sam’s secret ingredient isn’t on the menu. It’s her energy. Guests leave with full bellies and a little extra joy because Sam doesn’t just feed people, she makes every experience personal.
