Dan really has quite a way with food. He knows how to get the most out of his ingredients creating delicious dish after delicious dish. You will want to keep bringing him back for more! Better hurry; this man is becoming a hot commodity! Thanks again Dan!

Dan is an excellent chef. He made some polenta for me that was out of this world- and Ive never been a fan of the polenta Ive eaten before. Prepared with love for his craft and beautifully plated. (Thanks Dan! It was SOOOO GOOD!)

Dan has an attention to detail that can’t be surpassed. He always goes above and beyond for us! We have had him as our personal chef on several occasions from anniversaries to birthdays (long before Thumbtack days) and we employed him to cook for my husband and I on our boathouse in France as well, he’s that talented. Also he’s a lively conversationalist and extremely friendly and knowledgeable about all sorts of topics beyond food. Thanks again Dan for all you do! See you on Saturday!

I hired Chef Dan to cook a vegan Greek meal for my mom's 60th birthday and WOW was my family blown away! Chef Dan was incredibly responsive and worked with me on the menu leading up to the event to ensure it was something special (and also 100% vegan!). The food was so authentic, included very fresh ingredients, AND we had leftovers for the entire week! The night completely exceeded my expectations and I would recommend Chef Dan to anyone looking to plan a special event. I can't emphasize enough that if you invite Chef Dan into your home, you surely will not be disappointed - he is the real deal!! I look forward to reaching out to him again in the future and am so appreciative that he made my mom's birthday one to remember.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dessert • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - casual • American - formal • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Excellent dining experience with chef Dan. It felt like being on the chef table in a 5 star restaurant. Chef Dan created a perfect menu for our wedding anniversary dinner. The food was delicious and with excellent presentation! The price is very reasonable and he went above and beyond to fulfill our requests. We will definitely hire chef Dan again in a very near future.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Pricing starting at: $100 and up per person for 4-course dinner including dessert (pricing depends on protein chosen and if homemade pasta and cheeses are involved) + $150 for wine pairing or cocktail hour with our Bartender * Prices vary depending on chosen protein, and group size. Pricing goes down the bigger the group size and the less prep time is involved * Pricing always includes a top to bottom kitchen clean up and dishes put away * Grocery costs are at the expense of the customer (message me and I will give you ball park range and provide receipts upon arrival). * Tips are not included in pricing, but are always greatly appreciated!

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    When a customer inquires to work with me: * I follow up with a message asking questions about their event and the menu they desire * Next we set up a menu consultation call where we discuss the planning of the menu in more detail. * I email the client the menu we agreed on * Upon approval of the menu, I email the chef services invoice for the client to review and pay. ( In order to secure the date, a 50% deposit is required.) * Then once their deposit is paid, I hit the ground running sourcing the freshest local ingredients possible to prepare for their event!
