Chef Logan was perfect. Food was good and professionalism was high. He came on time and prepared and cooked a wonderful meal for our friend's 40th birthday. He was flexible with our guests and our timelines and left our kitchen cleaner than he found it! Without hesitation, I'd book him again for future events!

I also started out working under Chef Keegan Gerhard, former host of the Food Network Challenge and a renowned Chef and Restauranteur from Chicago and Denver.
