Chef Greg is amazing! We had a girls weekend in Broken Bow with 14 people. Greg was professional, efficient and polite. He worked with me on menu selections, including allergies, to accommodate our group. Our dinner was amazing! We had salads, Salmon and Mediterranean Chicken. Greg prepared, plated and served us all. Then, he cleaned the kitchen and did the dishes! We can’t wait to come back to Broken Bow and use Greg again!

I booked Elite Culinary for a surprise anniversary dinner for my husband and I. Greg was very responsive, polite and, professional throughout the planning process as well as the preparation and serving of dinner. Greg arrived 45 minutes early, with everything he needed, and dimmer was served on time. We had an appetizer, soup, main course and dessert. Everything was an amazing experience. The crab cakes were better than any I've eaten in any Louisiana restaurants. The soup was definitely a comfort food you'd want to eat on a cold night. It was smokey, creamy and delicious. The steak was cook to perfection and seasoned well served with a delicious sauce. The steak could be cut with a butter knife. We had chocolate croissant bread pudding a cream sauce for dessert. It was one of the best bread puddings I've ever eaten. Greg was wonderful and he worked magic in our kitchen. We highly recommend him for any event big or small. He's a delight and his food is delicious.

Great experience! My wife and I used him for our honeymoon. He was very responsive when we set up the menu. The food was great and the perfect amount! Greg was very professional and our meal time was the perfect amount. It was not too long and not too short in between meals. Definitely glad we used him and will do it again if we come back to visit.

Greg showed up at our house. 1. On time. 2. Dressed the part. 3. Professional 4. Brought everything he needed to cook and serve us. This guy is a class act. Very personable, easy to talk to. Food was 5 star. Crab cakes melted in my mouth. Very zesty salad. He Made us a filet that didn’t even need a knife with a sauce that was heaven sent. And to end it all a chocolate crème brûlée that was fabulous. I highly recommend him. And we will use him every time we return to town! Or beg him to come to us!

Chef Greg was outstanding to work with! He was quick to respond and provided a menu the next day. He was also very accommodating when we had an unexpected schedule conflict. He is professional, and easy to work with. We requested a special anniversary dinner including 3 course from three different countries and he nailed it! Our dinner was absolutely perfect. He made our anniversary a memorable night and we highly recommend him to others. Hopefully we can have him back again soon!
