Introduction: My name is Chef Carlos and I have been a Chef/Executive Chef for over 20 years in San Francisco. I got my start under Michael Mina at Aqua restaurant in the city. I now reside in Tracy and love being able to create a private chef experience or caterings for clients. At Porras Solutions we love organic, fresh products and the quality that California has to offer. Private chef for that special anniversary dinner, birthday dinner/party, private events, cooking lessons, and meal planning for those nights you just don't feel like cooking. Please check us out on Instagram (@porras_solutions), Facebook (Porras Solutions), Twitter (@chefporras), Yelp! I look forward to helping you with your next event and creating some magic. Cheers!

Wow!! Just wow! Chef Carlos and his team helped me recreate my wedding menu as an anniversary gift/surprise to my husband (and served it in the location of our dreams!). His creative vision was amazing, his willingness to find a way to make it work (serving hot food in cold weather, beside the Golden Gate without an electricity source!) was outstanding, and his final execution in both experience details and food quality was better than I could have even envisioned it! Truly impressed. I wish I could give more stars. He was a delight to work with and delivered everything on time with such an enjoyable personality. I will dream up reasons to get to work with him again!

Details: Date night • 2 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Cold beverages (alcoholic) • American - formal • Italian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
