About
I have been a professional chef in the Denver area for well over a decade providing upscale yet still approachable food. I even went so far as to get Michelin star training in NYC, SF, and Chicago. Over the years people have always been blown away by the creative and satisfying food I have made, so I decided to put on private tasting menu dinner parties at people's homes. Since then, several people have reached out for cooking lessons so they can learn to level up their day to day cooking (or to impress a special someone).

Outstanding service, responsiveness, and professionalism. Food was amazing, we could not pick a favorite since it was all so good. Cleaned up everything afterwards. Fitted me in his schedule last minute for my wife’s birthday and she had an amazing time. We felt comfortable and as if we had know him for years. Will definitely be reaching out again. He left us with full bellies and warm hearts!

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting a private dinner prepared by Chef Chris, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Every course was executed with such care, balance, and flavor that it felt like dining at a five-star restaurant in the comfort of our own home. The evening began with a Goddess Salad that was bright, refreshing, and layered with flavors that immediately set the tone for what was to come. The corn soup that followed was silky, comforting, and elevated far beyond what you’d ever expect from such a humble ingredient…it was pure perfection in a bowl. For the main course, the ribeye was cooked flawlessly juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor, paired with sides that complemented it beautifully. Every bite was a reminder of how special the night was. And then came the crème brûlée, with the perfect crack of caramelized sugar giving way to the most luscious, creamy custard. It was the ultimate finale to an already extraordinary meal. Beyond the food, the professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made the entire evening seamless and elevated. Chris not only created an incredible menu, but also brought an energy that made the dinner feel effortless and celebratory. If you’re looking for a private chef who can deliver not just a meal, but a true culinary experience, I cannot recommend Chris enough. Every guest was blown away, and I will be dreaming about this menu for a long time to come.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • Cold beverages (alcoholic) • Dessert • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • I'm flexible • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
