We had an amazing Valentine's Day dinner prepared by Chef Gilchrist in our own kitchen. The menu (all organic) consisted of: - Portobello mushroom with a Manchego cheese stuffing topped with roasted cherry tomatoes - Field Greens, goat cheese, golden beets, roasted pecans in a champagne vinaigrette - Blackened Halibut with roasted asparagus and fingerling potatoes - Key Lime pie Chef Gilchrist explained every step of the prep, cooking, and plating, and provided insight into how world-class kitchens cook their meals. And of course, the food was out of this world! We would definitely recommend Chef Gilchrist for any event, whether it's an in-house date night or big social event.

Chef Clay Gilchrist was very quick to respond and made an excellent menu for our party of 15 on Christmas day. He listened to our opinions and altered a few things for the couple people that were dairy free and gluten free. He showed up on time and got straight to work. He was professional and friendly. It was a pleasure having him. As for the food, he had fresh ingredients and everything was extremely flavorful. We started with crab stuffed mushrooms and cheesy stuffed jalapeños wrapped with bacon. As someone who doesn't much care for crab and have never tried jalapeños this was amazing. Everyone loved the mushrooms (even me) but I have to call out the jalapeños especially because they were just a pop of flavor in your mouth that we couldn't get enough of. Chef also brought an extra item of garlic bread that was so warm and had the perfect amount of garlic and butter. This was a completely welcomed surprise for us as it was not on the menu. Chef Clay also made homemade Clam Chowder that was creamy and seasoned to perfection. He also made a special batch for the dairy free person so they were not left out. Next he made chicken Piccata, steak in a balsamic sauce, roasted potatoes and prosciutto wrapped asparagus. He cooked the steak to each individuals liking and I have nothing negative to say about any of it. It was such a deliciously savory dinner. It was all seasoned so well and we were all so happy with the outcome. To top it off Chef Clay also made us key lime pie that was so tangy and refreshing. He made the dairy and gluten free individuals creme brulee. I did not try that but they were extremely happy with how good it turned out. As for the 5 kids we had, Chef made them a pepperoni pizza and half cheese half pineapple and Canadian bacon. I tried the pizzas and they were very high quality. The crust was crispy and the flavor was amazing. I would highly recommend Chef Clay Gilchrist for any occasion and if we ever find ourselves on the east coast again we will definitely use him again. As a great side note, he wrapped up and labeled all the leftovers so we get to enjoy it all again.

Chef Gilchrist is AWESOME. My son has allergies to wheat, egg, soy, peanuts, dairy and shellfish. Chef Gilchrist provided me with the knowledge and alternatives. I really enjoyed the time I spent with him and plan on having him back again for more lessons. Thanks again Chef :)
