Food as a way to connect, nourish and celebrate.
I’m Corey Soberanis. I’ve traveled across the United States and have proudly called Tampa home for over five years. In 2017 I founded Iron Chef Core to share my culinary passion with my community.
With over a decade of culinary experience, I’ve honed my expertise in dietary-restricted cuisine, health-focused solutions and sustainable client relations. What I enjoy most is teaching — whether that’s an individual honing their skills, a family aiming to eat healthier, or a corporate team looking for a genuine bonding experience.

What others are saying.
Had a great time learning some new culinary skills while making some amazing plant-based ramen with Chef Corey! Love finding a plant-based gem in Tampa!
Chef Core is very creative and professional! He created a 3-course dinner for me on my birthday and it was amazing! The aromas filled the air, and the flavors danced in my mouth. I celebrated on my patio with the Tampa Skyline as my backdrop. He popped the champagne and also did a great toast for me. Then as he served each course, the dishes were described beautifully. I’m also a Chef and to have another chef create something so beautiful for me is a true testament to his craftsmanship. I can’t thank you enough, Chef Core!
Chef Corey did a great job catering to a group of couples in town. He’s very sweet, personable and the food was amazing. He’s really easy to work with.
Frequently asked questions.
Do you accommodate specific dietary needs?
Yes. We accommodate a wide range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and other special requirements. Let us know your preferences or restrictions in advance and we’ll tailor our offerings so the experience is comfortable and enjoyable for everyone in the room.
How long are the classes?
Classes typically run between 2 and 4 hours, depending on the topic and level of interaction. That gives you time to learn, practice and ask questions while keeping the session engaging and focused.
Can I host a class at my home?
Absolutely — and it’s highly recommended. Hosting at home is a wonderful way to get a personalized, intimate experience. We’ll work with you on the setup and make sure everything is tailored to your space and needs.
What areas do you serve?
We primarily serve Tampa and the surrounding areas, including Lutz, Wesley Chapel, Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Plant City. If you’re unsure whether your location falls inside our service area, reach out — we’ll do our best to accommodate you or recommend a suitable option.
