Our Story…

Always committed to sharing his passion for cooking, Chef Charlie Abowd has stepped into a new venture, Charlie’s Table @ Your Home, bringing his epicurean talents to your home. But the story, his story began long ago.

Cooking since the age of 13, and a fixture at Adele’s Restaurant since 1978 when his folks, Paul and Adele opened the Carson City landmark, Chef Charlie took the helm in 1998 when he and his wife, Karen purchased the property and made it their own. Until 2019, Cafe at Adele’s served as the gathering place for locals marking important life events or sharing a meal with friends and legislators engaged in a bit of horse-trading when the Nevada Legislature was in session.

Cafe at Adele’s unexpectedly closed following a fire March 28, 2019, marking the end of an era.

Chef Charlie’s Philosophy…

There is no better way to connect with others than by sharing friendship, love and conversation while enjoying an exquisite, multi-course meal comprised of quality ingredients over which beautiful memories are made.
