Gary Mongero worked for us from November of 2014 to October, 2015 as a private chef, doing all of our grocery shopping and most of our cooking for lunches and dinners during the work week. Gary is a very personable, fun, eager to assist, and easy to get along with sort of person. We enjoyed working with him, and often found his suggestions on what foods to prepare, or how to prepare them, to be valuable. His skills in sourcing ingredients are superb: he was very good at finding excellent quality foods at reasonable prices, and kept in close contact with the butchers and fishmongers at our local grocery store, so that he knew what would be coming soon, and what the best current offerings were. He was very reliable at communicating about his work schedule - we were never left wondering where he was or when hed get here; and hed be sure to give us plenty of notice when planning absences and vacations. The meals Gary prepared for guests made him nearly legendary among our circles of friends and co-workers. When hearing that Gary would be preparing a meal for them, we consistently got a very happy smile from those in the know. We really like Gary, and are grateful for the year he was with us. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

We had a catered event at my Auntâs house and the food was fantastic! I especially loved the Crab Cakes and the Pad Thai with the chicken and shrimp! Gary did an amazing job and was very friendly.

Hired on Thumbtack

I hired Gary for personal chef services and am very pleased. He makes nice, interesting food at a reasonable price. I have used him a few times and there is always great variety. He is willing to come up with a menu by himself but also takes requests. He clearly has a lot of experience. In addition, he can use many different flavors. Beyond all this, he is a genuinely nice person and is willing to go the extra mile to make sure that the customer is satisfied. I have used 2 other personal chefs in the past and I like Gary the best.
