Travis was amazing. I tried working with a few other chefs first and they tried billing for travel time and clean up fees. He was honest, up front and made the whole transaction seamless. Travis was on time, his food was amazing and exact to the menu, and he left the location exactly as when he showed up. All dishes were cleaned and put back. Will be using him again!

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • French • American - formal • Asian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Travis is a joy to work with and an excellent chef! We hired him as a private chef for a company dinner. He arrived prepared, and had good energy to share with our group. Dinner was delicious, and he did an amazing job sharing his wine expertise with us. He also left our kitchen cleaner than how he found it. Thank you, Travis! We hope to work with you again in the future.

We hired Know Wine-ing to create a memorable celebratory family dinner in Calistoga. Communication was prompt and ongoing as we planned our event. Chef Gee was very helpful, making recommendations and accommodating our requests. We also hired his partner/wife who was equally delightful as a bartender and pastry chef (the chocolate cake was amazing!) From our salad course to the excellent pizzas and delicious paella, everyone was talking about our meal for days! We had enough paella for a second meal so the value was also a big plus. Clean-up was very thorough and we were able to visit and enjoy each other while Know Wine-ing did all the work, Ten of us highly recommend this talented and fun duo!

Details: Regular meal • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
