Introduction: Hello! I'm Chef Daniel, an eclectic Colombian-American chef with professional training from Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena. I've worked with top chefs at the Border Grill, Roy Choi, Gordon Ramsey and Michelin starred Summit House in Orange County. With this experience, I can prepare almost anything from my flavorful carne asada to vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free dishes. I am also a catering liaison for Firefly, Tacos & Beer and now Graze Kitchen (our Plant Powered vegan venture) as one of their catering chefs. Cooking has always been a part of my life. I love preparing flavorful food and teaching others how to cook. I make sure my samples are easy to duplicate when I teach, and I enjoy helping others start and continue living a healthy lifestyle. I make sure my clients are satisfied with the food and service (and pay a reasonable rate) so we're all happy.

Cooking like crazy was a great vendor to work with. I contacted them with short notice for an event that was taking place during Super Bowl weekend. They were responsive, flexible, and punctual. And the food was very tasty 😊. Great pick and great value!!

We booked Cooking Like Crazy’s taco truck as the caterer for our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier. There was a great variety - five different kinds of tacos! - and the freshly made guacamole was out of this world. Our guests sent text messages for days afterward raving about the food. If you’re looking for a delicious, fairly-priced taco truck run by a friendly and professional chef, look no further.

Chef Daniel prepared a tri-tip meal for 12 at my house. He was very personable and the food was a hit with everyone. He was able to prepare the dinner with only a few days notice and it tasted delicious. He was very clean and tidy in his preparation and I would highly recommend Chef Daniel.

I really enjoyed working with Daniel. He took the time to provide samples which led to my company using his services three times in a couple of months. The variety of food was great but the taste was even better. Especially his pesto chicken. I highly recommend Daniel.
