Chef Kearney was a pro, was a lot of fun, and clearly was knowledgeable of the science behind food! He custom made a menu based on our event and needs, and we would definitely hire him again!

We had the most amazing night! Kearney made the most delicious meal! His culinary knowledge and passion shined through his food! I hired him for my husbands 60th birthday! We had 9 guests. This is still one of the best memories. Definitely worth the money. Best food, highly creative, and all done in your home. Win win. Thank you for helping me create a very special experience.

While I sadly had to cancel our dinner (though we WILL be rescheduling)so we didn’t get to experience the cuisine. HOWEVER, the preparation, communication and ease I felt over planning it was great! Chef Anthony’s menus he provided were thoughtful and diverse in the ingredient choices. I honestly can’t wait to finally schedule this dinner so our menus can come to fruition! 💜

Anthony prepared my dinner for me and 6 friends! There is so much that I can say. He cooked for us in December and my friends and I are still talking about how delicious the food was. Anthony was very responsive and answered all of our questions leading up to the event. He was very reasonably priced for the amount of food he prepared. I loved how he incorporated local ingredients into the meal. Anthony even prepared menus for each setting which was a very nice touch. Anthony was so friendly and he set the table and cleaned up afterward. Like I said, I could continue on and on, but mu recommendation is to definitely book him for your event! Unfortunately I think we ate the food too fast before we took photos! These are only a few dishes.

Anthony was amazing and all 8 guests said this was the best dinner they have ever had. He made the process easy. We had an initial call to discuss what type of food people liked or didn't like. He then created a 5 course dinner menu that I was able to request changes on at any time. Anthony arrived an hour before the dinner to start preparing food. He took the time to explain each dish to us as we were served. He brought his own pots, pans, plates, and silverware. Anthony was friendly throughout the dinner and even cracked jokes with us. It was such a fun dinner and I would highly recommend Anthony.
