Chef Matthew Lazarchick

Matty is great! Very personable, communicative, and also helped create a special moment for the special woman in my life. He allowed us to make something special between her and I. I could not ask for more.

Very nice.

I have been a restaurateur for 25+ years but did not want to use one of my chefs. It was a risk well taken. Matthew is a fine chef. His food knowledge, enthusiasm and taste was out of this world. I had 10 foodies at my home for a Surprise Bday party. I think I was the most surprised at what a fine meal we had. Many of the guests commented that it was one of the best meals they have ever had anywhere. Matt took the time to build a menu that suited the crowd. He also took the time to meet up. He stayed in touch prior to the evening to coordinate details of our night. We even all made gnocchi with him. (a special cooking class treat) I I would like to tell you about my favorite course but literally every course was better than the next; ending with the belle noir dessert which I can still taste. I will use this service again and hope that Matt will be available.

Chef Joey was brilliant, very professional, and the food was amazing.

Chef Matt was amazing! His food was amazing. I've had dinners that cost a lot more or around the same price that didn't taste nearly as good or look as good as Chef Matt's dishes. He was also just a great person in general. My wife and I had a great time interacting with him, and he really made our night together extra special with the wonderful dishes he prepared as well as their presentation. The portion sizes were also great! I'm from Maryland and am pretty particular when comes to crab, and Chef Matt made us some killer crab cakes that any Marylander would love. They were also huge and the lump blue crab he used was delicious!!! Every dish we tried was delicious! I would definitely use Chef Matt's services in the future, and I have recommended Take-a-Chef, as well as Chef Matt to other people I know. This was the first time I used a personal Chef service and I gotta say, Chef Matt knocked it out of the park on all levels. Professionalism, Quality, Taste, Presentation, Personality....he's got it all!!! Book him you won't be dissapointed!!! Thanks again Chef Matt, looking forward to next time!! -Kenny T.
