We had Chef Dave do a pasta creation party for six adults. Chef taught us how to create pasta from scratch and cook it properly. The Bolognese sauce was to die for and it was a great and informative evening. We will definitely be planning another party in the near future.

OMG! David and his mom (sous chef) were so amazing! We had them come for my mom’s 80th birthday party. They made an amazing fillet baked potato with the works, salt on the outside, homemade sourdough croutons in the salad and more! They left the kitchen spotless and the food was incredible. They were a joy to have in the house while we were enjoying our intimate party. I will hire David again 100 times over!
