The service Chef John provided was AMAZING from beginning to end! I wanted my guests to have fresh warm food; therefore, he arrived early to cook and set up. We had chicken and beef taquitos with rice and beans let me not forget the delicious appetizers (pigs in a blanket, deviled eggs and nachos with all sides). Chef John is extremely clean and very professional. He has a variety of options to choose from, you tell him what you want and he'll blow you and your guests away. I will definitely hire him again for our next party. If your looking for a chef, Iook no more, I highly recommend Chef John to cater your next party!
