A Philadelphia native, Getzewich made his way to the South–to its regional, coastal cuisine, warm hospitality, and one of the country’s favorite food destinations–Charleston, SC, by way of an extensive culinary journey. Chef Getzewich grew up cooking and eating with his Polish grandmother, spending his days learning to make Pierogis, Kielbasa, and Galumpkis. He graduated from The Restaurant School of Walnut Hill College with a degree in culinary arts and began working his way through renowned kitchens across the northeast, learning under the tutelage of such chefs as Eric Ripert and Jennifer Carroll.

Getzewich moved to Charleston in 2012, and quickly joining the city’s prominent food scene as Sous Chef at Two Boroughs Larder with fellow Philadelphia native and James Beard Award nominee Josh Keeler. In 2014, he joined The Indigo Road Hospitality Group as Sous Chef of The Macintosh and eventually Executive Chef at Indaco. Getzewich briefly left Indigo Road to open notable downtown restaurant One Broad, before returning to the group in 2020 to become Executive Chef of The Kingstide, then rising to the position of Culinary Director.

Chef Getzewich is proud of his relationship with local and regional fisheries, farmers, and purveyors and encourages his teams to showcase The Lowcountry’s bounty through fresh, clean, and ingredient-driven cuisine. When Getzewich is not in the kitchen, he enjoys golfing and spending time with his Mini Dachshund and Chihuahua, Hoagie and Basil.
