Simply stated: You cannot go wrong with Chef Bandy. My husband, who is the chef of our family, created his perfect birthday dinner menu (surprisingly many chefs that were recommended declined the pre-selected menu). Thankfully, Chef Bandy was responsive and collaborative to ensure that my husband got what he wanted. He continuously reached out to ensure that if we needed anything, he would try his best to accommodate. During the 2 hour dinner, Chef Brandy was punctual, and explained everything thoroughly. Also, as this was our first time hiring a personal chef, it was nice to hear his amazing stories about his experiences in New York as a young chef. You don't get that at any restaurant I've been to. The dinner, which consisted of extra crispy onion rings, New York strip, potato au gratin, and parmesan crusted broccoli was literally amazing. For dessert, we had German chocolate cake. Will definitely hire Chef Brandy again. Also, sorry for the low quality pictures. We were focused on the delicious food. 😆

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – Amazing Meal Prep Chef..! I hired Chef Bandy to help me with healthy, protein-packed meal prep; and the experience was outstanding! Here’s why I highly recommend them: Healthy & Delicious Meals – Every dish was flavorful while being low-calorie, high-protein, and packed with veggies. No boring diet food here! Perfect for My Goals** – With 13 prepped meals (lunch & dinner), I know I will stay on track all week without stressing about cooking. Great Effort & Attention** – The chef listened to my needs and made sure meals supported weight loss while keeping me full and satisfied. Affordable & Transparent** – Charged a very reasonable fee and even brought his own seasonings and fresh veggies —I just supplied the protein, which kept costs reasonable. Convenient & Reliable** – Meals were neatly arranged and packed, ready to grab-and-go all week. No stress, no excuses! Delicious & Nutrient-Dense** – Every meal was **flavorful and satisfying** (no bland diet food!), with smart seasoning and perfect portions to support my calorie goals. If you need a meal prep chef who cares about your health goals, I recommend Chef Bandy. Thanks to his assistance, I’m eating healthy meals without feeling deprived! Would 100% hire again!

A very enjoyable evening. All of the eight diners that were served by Chef Bandy constantly remarked, throughout the night of the great time they were having. The steaks were grilled perfectly, the au gratin potatoes were tasty and the broccoli and asparagus were prepared right on. Desert was on the level of any excellent restaurant, while Chef Bandy's banter with the diners before and after dinner was fun and enlightening. To sum it up.....a wonderful experience for all.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - casual • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
