— CHEF DANNY ELMALEH

MISE is a catering company built on the belief that food has the power to connect, celebrate, and inspire. Founded by Chef Danny Elmaleh and Nina Moayer Lockett, founder and CEO of nya studios, MISE blends culinary artistry with event expertise to deliver experiences that are as seamless as they are memorable.

Our name is a culinary nod to the French phrase mise en place—everything in its place—reflecting the values at the heart of our brand: customization, adaptability, and precision. From immersive brand activations to high-level corporate summits, every detail is designed with precision, adaptability, and a commitment to creating unforgettable experiences.

Chef Danny’s Moroccan, Japanese, and Mediterranean heritage shapes a culinary perspective rooted in bold flavors, refined technique, and creative storytelling. MISE brings together food, culture, and community in a way that feels both elevated and personal.

We partner with leading brands and premier venues to transform gatherings into unforgettable experiences. At MISE, we don’t just cater—we craft moments that spark nostalgia with creativity, invoking something new, creative and interesting within the culinary experience.
