Hired on Thumbtack

I’m a fairly good cook of “farm food”, however, needed to learn how to cook fish and always needed help making beans. My spouse and I learned so much and had a great time. Chef Brandon put together a menu for me to review and brought all the ingredients with him. The meal was so delicious. Chef Brandon was absolutely wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. You will not disappointed by hiring him.

Chef Brandon really saved the day! One week before our wedding we decided to hire a private chef, and he respond to me within minutes, which was such a relief! He was so accommodating to us regarding food allergies in our group, as well as making a long drive out to our home. We had a group of 7 adults and 2 children. Chef Brandon fit right in and we felt like he was a part of our family. Not only did he make us a delicious meal, but he also fed our photographer which was so thoughtful and kind! Thank you so much for making our wedding a stress free day! We can’t wait to have you back and we will be sure to refer you to our friends and family! ** I will make sure to update my review with photos! :)

My wife and I celebrated our 1 year anniverary during a covid period where restaurants were closed so we rented an airbnb and had Chef Brandon come to cook a private meal. Chef Brandon was great and very professional and respected all safety guidelines. Food was great, and you could sense his passion for his craft. We went with a cajun menu and all I can say is wow Chef makes a great etouffee. Chef was also just a good person and very easy to talk to throughout the night with good stories abound.
