Introduction: Hello and thank you for your interest in Top Town Chef. My name is Sara and I have been actively involved in the culinary industry for the past 10 years. I got my start at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in 2009 and earned my Associates of Occupational Studies in November of 2010. In April of 2010 I had started working in my first kitchen with Forever Resorts and since then have worked at restaurants in Hollywood and the Los Angeles areas. In January of 2018 we moved to Lake Arrowhead in the San Bernardino mountains where I had been working as the Chef at The Sky Forest Inn. Due to the slow season and my eagerness to work, I decided to start offering private chef services in September of 2018. With the support of my partner John and our continued success, we developed a name and built our website. Toptownchef.com is up and running and accepting bookings. Check us out to view menu options and our availability!

Sara and I have worked together in the past and every time we worked together it was always a memorable experience. Sara has amazing culinary skills and ideas and is so much fun to work with. She will amaze you with her skills and she make sure you are satisfied. I have never regretted working with her and you won't regret hiring her either.

Hired on Thumbtack

I hired Sara to prepare the food at my daughter's 5th birthday party and it was the best decision that I could have made. First and foremost Sara arrived right on time and from that moment on she was awesome. Sara went right to work even helping us get everything organized before she started preparing the food. The food was DELICIOUS everything was to my liking, my guest all loved the food and we were all comfortable with Sara because she was very professional and thoughtful. Sara was truly a blessing to us that day she made our special day very delightful. I would definitely utilize Sara in the future. Well don't hesitate to hire Sara you want be disappointed!!

We did a girls weekend in Palm Springs and Sara was one of the highlights of our trip! We had a 4 course meal which was delicious and timed perfectly, and spent less than what it would cost at a restaurant in the comfort of our home. She was friendly and inviting, and the food was amazing. Would definitely recommend!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
To keep everything all inclusive is my goal. The cost for shopping, labor/prep, linen service (if needed), full set service ware (if needed), travel, and reimbursed thumbtack service charge fee are all included.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Whenever working with a new client it always starts with a message of interest. From there I like to set an over the phone appointment for that day or the next. During our phone consultation I will ask more detailed questions as to what sort of special occasion it is, how many people, whats your budget, what style of food you are hoping to serve your guests, if there are any food allergies I should be aware of... generally no more than 15-20 minuets of your time.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
