About
I have a heartfelt passion for food. I become overjoyed when customers appreciate the food I have created.
As I started washing dishes at 14 and throughout my culinary career I have accomplished a Culinary diploma worked at fine dining restaurants, owned my own restaurant as well, and achieved to become a food service manager for a youth correctional facility. In the meantime of my career I am now raising four beautiful children. Since their arrival I have self educated myself on healthy eating habits as well as the importance of nutrition.
I am an open seeker. What ever the opportunity presents itself with I am willing to accomplish with discipline, hard work and integrity. The first thing I learned from my Mom when I started cooking was to always make everything how you would want it. Very good advice that set the foundation to a successful career. Thanks Mom.
I am able to do anything of the culinary trade. Whichever your services may be I can provide. Anything from meal planning and preparing for delivery, private parties and functions or just as simple as a private 5 star meal cooked for the family. School lunches to snacks and weeknight meals or even birthday parties and anniversary celebrations.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your association and possible future personal chef

We hired Dustin to prepare a 3 course meal for my husband's 30th, where we had a dinner party of 14 people. He was professional the whole way through from deciding the menu, to having the tools necessary to prepare and serve everything and was just all around awesome. My entire family really enjoyed the meal and we would 100% recommend Dustin.

Dustin was honestly amazing. He prepared a weeks worth of dinners for my family and even delivered them even though he was an hour away. They all look amazing! I’ll update with taste but I can already tell they will be great
Additionally - he’s just very kind and personable and just an all around great person. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
