I reached out to Chef Kendell about catering a dinner for a group of 12 while we were in Louisville. He was very quick to get back to me and the initial call we had was very helpful in terms of laying out options, making recommendations and working closely with me to create the best possible experience. He was also very responsive to all messages and made great suggestions all along the way. On the day of the event Chef Kendell and his team arrived at the house we rented a little early and got everything set up. They provided service during our cocktail hour, even offering to mix drinks using whatever we had on hand. The dinner itself was outstanding (his short ribs are maybe the best short ribs I have ever had), and the entire team was engaging and great to interact with. We could not have asked for a better dinner experience and I would recommend Chef Kendell and his team to anyone looking for great service, amazing food and a fun evening.

We asked Chef Kendall to be our chef for my husband’s 40th birthday dinner party (group of 9). We were traveling from out of town to an Air BnB, and didn’t know much about the place we were staying other than the fact that there was a kitchen and a dining room table that fit everyone. From the beginning, Chef Kendell was very quick to respond, and willing to work with me to make the perfect evening come to life. I had a set budget, and he came up with a very nice menu that fit. We had food sensitivities, and he edited the menu for our needs. On the day of the party, he and Cody were very punctual. They came in and went right to work. We relaxed outside for a while, and when we came back in, the dining room had been transformed, with nice table settings and charcuterie! Everything was delicious. In fact, most of our party said that meal was the highlight of the trip! The fish was done perfectly and the gluten free apple pie was perfect. I loved how friendly and personable, but also professional, Chef Kendell and Cody both were. After the meal, they entertained questions while also leaving the kitchen just as they had found it. We were sad to see them go that evening, and hope to see them again if we ever make it back to Louisville. If you have a dinner coming up, and you want a fabulous evening with great food, hire Chef Kendell! You’ll be making a memory that’s sure to last a lifetime.
