Chef Eric B was an ideal private chef for the Bachelor Party that I was hosting in Chula Vista for my brother. Eric and his server Wendy had a great energy about them. They were friendly in the kitchen and had a great sense of the atmosphere of our event. They were professional but laid back at the same time, proving that they would be great for both formal and informal events. Most importantly, the food was excellent in quality and quantity. Eric and Wendy also left the kitchen spotless, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely hire them again when I am back in San Diego!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Mexican / Latin American • American - casual • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Asian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Eric was very professional, phenomenal, and very passionate in his job which is evident through all the meals and food he made for us. Communication prior to our event was very efficient and he made things easy for us especially in planning out the menu. I, along with the rest of our group would give him infinite high ratings. Would hire him every time. Meals were SOO delicious and filling.
