Chef Jay and his team catered a private dinner for 8 for my parents' 40th wedding anniversary. Throughout the entire process he was responsive and straight-forward. He was on-time (even a few minutes early!) and put several personal touches on the evening. We had the shrimp bruschetta, surf & turf, and chocolate lava cake. The food was excellent and the presentation blew everyone away. Chef Jay was an absolute pleasure to work with and I wholeheartedly recommend working with him and his team.

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Hired on Thumbtack

This was my first time hiring a personal chef. We hired him for a Birthday dinner party. Let me start by saying it will not be my last. Chef Jay showed professionalism from point of first contact. He arrived at my home on time and prepared. He was interactive while he prepared the meal. He was extremely accommodating to all my guests. My friends were impressed with quality of the food. It tasted fantastic! Not really sure how I am going to go to a restaurant again because Chef Jay has truly spoiled me.

Details: Brunch / dinner party • 3 - 5 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - casual • Southern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Jay communicated so well throughout the whole planning process and was such a great time to have around! Guests were over joyed with the food too and were surprised that everything was well seasoned and still warm even though it was all premade! Thanks again Chef Jay, we’ll definitely be hitting you up in the near future :)
