Adam and his staff were incredible as a personal chef and I highly recommend them! Adam was a delight to work with from our very first conversation. We put together a 4 course menu for a small birthday gathering, and every bite was exceptional. Adam presented each course to the group, was very knowledgeable about techniques and ingredients, and thoroughly cleaned when the meal was complete. There were leftovers for days and we were completely stuffed! We will absolutely be working with him again.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - formal • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • French • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I needed a chef for an 18 person bachelor party.Adam was awesome to work with and made the process such a breeze. He took time to understand our needs and dietary restrictions. He also took the time and effort to craft a menu that was truly personal and delicious. At the event, Adam was cordial, unobtrusive, and extremely friendly with all of the guests. I have no hesitation in hiring him again for future events and would recommend him for everything.

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Barbecue • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Needed a chef within 72 hours for a small friends event I was having. He engaged quickly, was incredibly kind and personable and super accommodating. He sent us a great winter menu and allowed us to swap out a few things for taste and dietary purposes. The food was absolutely incredible and everyone was very happy with their dinners. We had lamb and chicken, polenta, root veggies, asparagus, lobster bisque, salad with sunchokes which was awesome. My husband even raved and he’s a super tough critic. Would highly recommend - didn’t take so many pictures because we were too busy stuffing our faces! At the end of the night we had a really special time and Adam joined in the festivities seamlessly. So fun!

Details: Holiday meal (Mother's day, Valentine's day, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • I'm flexible • American - casual • American - formal • Asian • Italian • Mexican / Latin American • Barbecue • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Southern • Indian • French • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Adam is a committed chef and even an artist with food. From the first appetizer plate, a stunning (really) charcuterie plate, to the dessert four hours later, we marveled at the quality of the ingredients and the execution of each dish. Our party was for eight people (us included) and we wanted it to be extraordinary – top restaurant quality – with (i) charcuterie plate, (ii) three passed appetizers, and (iii) a four-course dinner. Adam delivered and beyond – with incredible dishes and ingredients of the level I have not ever had (the salmon was widely described as the best the guests had ever had – one person who does not like Salmon was waxing poetic about it). I do not believe a restaurant can execute the level of dinner and intimate experience that Adam did at our house. Having that quality of experience at home is worth it – it was over the top. I have had other chefs – many good – but Adam put 110% into it – and it showed. If you hire a chef and want to see someone at the top of their game, hire Adam.

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Dessert • I'm flexible • American - formal • Italian • French • Gluten free or celiac • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We hired Adam’s team for a private dinner during a 20 person Bachelorette party in Cape Cod. He worked with me to create a menu that was just what the bride wanted, within our budget and on par with our “coastal summer” theme. Everything was outstanding! So easy to work with, the chefs were engaging, explained each course and left the kitchen spotless. 10 out of 10! Thank you Chef!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 21 - 35 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Italian • American - casual • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
