This was a wonderful experience for my stepparents - to have a personal chef prepare a meal for them and friends at home. Menu choices were fabulous. Both couples enjoyed it thoroughly and wanted his contact information for future reference. Highly recommend.

Fantastic! That’s a one word description of Chef John’s feast that he prepared for my 50th birthday dinner for me and five guests. From first contact until the end of dinner, John made me feel like I was his only concern. We started in April for a May event. He offered a variety of menu options until we agreed on the perfect selection for the celebration. John even offered suggestions for wine pairings. John wanted to make this dinner a memorable event. Believe me, I will always remember my 50th birthday festivities. On the night of the celebration, Chef John and his son Jake arrived on time. The food had minimum on-site preparation, but was extraordinary. Jake served each course and Chef John would then describe each of the five courses. Talk about five star dining…at home! We started with a fresh Savannah shrimp in sweet and tangy barbeque sauce oh John’s creation and worked our way to a great Triple chocolate cake with vanilla crème Anglaise. I would gladly recommend Chef John to anyone who wants a personal touch with a flare of elegance. I strongly believe he is a great cook and a very nice person. It was so nice to have a great dining experience and not having to worry about preparation or clean up. We did have one piece of stemware break by accident. Chef John reimbursed me.(You know, it's not a party until a wine glass gets broken.) Everyone enjoyed our dinner that night! Thank you John!
