My wife and I are always happy with the meals we have ordered from Travis. Everything is always seasonably fresh and I feel confident that he sources his fruits and veggies from the farmers market and his fish from regional fishermen. He makes sure that each meal is slightly different than the last and is responsive to what our flavor requests are for that meal. The meals are as good as you would get at a high end restaurant (if not better).

I've been eating and enjoying Chef Travis's food for years at his place of work and was trilled to have an experience outside of his restaurant. He worked with me to design a menu that highlighted seasonal ingredients, but was different from any of the dishes I've had before from him. He took the time to explain in detail what he had prepared. My guests were seriously impressed and loved a restaurant quality meal with the safety and comfort of home.

Travis was incredible! Travis is professional, warm, easy to communicate with and a top notch chef. We were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and Travis was so helpful in planning the menu- he responded quickly via email and he made sure the night went beautifully. The food was absolutely delicious and presentation was total perfection. We honestly felt like we were at a beautiful restaurant in our backyard. Fresh made pasta was out of this world- sweet corn agnolotti, pappardelle in lemon sauce, all was incredible.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I prefer to start with experience development, things guests love and dislike, food memories, travel memories, and then work out the menu based on what we discuss.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I apprenticed early in my career under several European trained chefs and have always been a believer in self education, I religiously read cookbooks, new and old, and am always trying to develop new skills and techniques to bring into the kitchen.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
My father managed restaurants when I was growing up and because of that I was always going to farmers markets and hanging out in kitchens. I loved the ability food and dining has to create moments with people, bringing them together and fostering community.
