He is personable, professional, honest and more than capable of making any food event, dinner, lunch, breakfast, picnic, BBQ a meal to remember. He is easy to work with, knows all the ins and outs of making an event special and can completely customize to match any theme or desire. You need look no further, Douglas is the Chef you want!

My family and I vacationed in Hermosa Beach, CA for a month and thought it would be cool to have a personal chef come and cook dinners for our family. We hired Doug and was blown away. We loved everything he prepared for us. He cooked us dinners Monday thru Friday and we ended up hiring him to grill for us on Saturdays when we had friends and family over. Everyone was totally impressed and thoroughly satisfied. We can't wait until our next vacation so we can hire him again!
