For my 18th anniversary I wanted to do something unique and thoughtful for my wife, so I scheduled Michael to come to my home to cook for us. This turned out to be one of our most memorable anniversary experiences ever and Michael was wonderful. He was very responsive during the entire planning stage, was right on time and prepared all of the dishes (appetizers, salads, steak, scallops and lobster wonderfully). He even went so far as to purchase a particular cake from the California Pizza Kitchen which is my wife's favorite. His dinner service was excellent (we sat on our patio) and was very attentive but not overbearing in any way. I give Michael my highest recommendation and wish I thought of this idea sooner. Todd K.

Milestone birthday dinner for 7. What a fantastic night! Chef Michael collaborated on a four course meal that was top notch. A few highlights included: perfectly cooked siracha spice shrimp, amazing prime filets, with a picture perfect medium rare cook to a delicious halibut prepared with a smoky cream sauce. Everything was prepared to perfection with a great dose of Southern hospitality and the kitchen was left immaculately clean. Chef Michael comes highly recommended, and deserves the highest of praise. All the great reviews are spot on and he was a pleasure to have in our kitchen for the evening. It was like having our own private chef's table! Thanks for giving us a night to remember, Michael!
