Luke Houghton
Chef Cream Eatery
Luke grew up on the family dairy farm in rural Ngarua just out of Morrinsville. After leaving school at the end of his 6th form year, he moved to Hamilton to study Hospitality and Cookery at Wintec.
After working in a bunch of restaurants in the Hamilton scene Luke and his wife and business partner opened Winner Winner Hamilton East, which went on to be sold to Burger Fuel International.
After a stint of consulting to restaurant venues, Luke and his wife opened Cream Eatery in Garden Place.
Come see why 'Lukes Fried Eggs' have become a famous staple on the Cream Eatery menu.
