It was our first time trying this kind of experience and we are so pleased! Chef Lucky was incredible! He was very kind and friendly. He is soft spoken and smiley, which made for a very nice guest. His food was incredible! Absolutely delicious and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for Chef services. His food was really catered towards our request and was delicious! An incredible experience all around.

Jennifer was absolutely outstanding. This was our first experience hiring a private chef and I would give an unqualified recommendation to anyone. The food was spectacular, she was engaging but also left us alone. The cleanup was great - it was amazing to host friends and have almost nothing to clean afterwards!
Ryan Mcginn - Aug 17 2021
Chef Rachel was wonderful and made my SIL’s bachelorette party one to remember. The dishes were excellent, the drinks were perfect and she made everyone feel like a celebrity with her 5 star service. She was also very good about communicating before hand, thinking through various details as well as closer to the event date. We really couldn’t have been any happier. Highly recommend!

Does the Private Chef cook at my house?
A Private Chef always prepares the menu at the client's home, as it is an inherent part of the experience. However, depending on the complexity of the menu, the chef may prepare a mise en place before going to the client's home, as some dishes take several hours to prepare and it would be impossible to execute all the steps at the client's home.
Can I cook along with the Private Chef?
Absolutely! Usually, there are always several food lovers among the diners who take the opportunity to share some time with the chef, learn some tricks in the kitchen and the step-by-step of each of the dishes on the menu. For those diners who really want to get hands on, they can of course join the chef and cook!
Are the ingredients for a Private Chef service fresh?
Every Private Chef gives the utmost importance to the freshness of the ingredients used in their menus. The main difference between a restaurant and a private chef is in the personalized treatment of each diner. The chef personalizes the menu, and based on that menu, makes the necessary purchases to develop the menu chosen by the customers. Therefore, the freshness of the ingredients is one of the key elements of a Private Chef service.
Are drinks included in a Private Chef service?
Drinks are not included by default. However, you can reach an agreement with the chef in order to add drinks as an "extra" to the menu proposal.
