Chef Taylor helped make a memorable evening for a bride-to-be and a group of 11 other people! The food was exceptional and beautifully presented, and the clean-up was pristine (pretty sure the Air BnB was cleaner than when Chef Taylor started cooking). Thank you so so much!

Chef Taylor Dennis was spectacular. This is the very first time I have worked with hiring a private chef for a dinner and he went above and BEYOND my expectations. My guest raves about the food. He is truly a professional. If you are on the fence about who to work with, go no further, there is a REASON why he is top rated on this platform. He is great!
