We had a wonderful evening with Chef Adam. We asked him to prepare a special dinner for my wife’s 50th birthday. We had our fair share of food limitations, including pescatarianism (but no shellfish), a mushroom allergy, and somewhat picky children. Adam really shined. He worked with us to come up with a menu that would work for everyone, and then he was extremely flexible with last-minute ideas and changes. He also accommodated our request to use a large number of seasonal vegetables that we had just received from our CSA. It was quite the experience to watch him prepare the food in our kitchen, and he even gave us super helpful cooking and food prep tips. I highly recommend chef Adam!
Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Vegetarian or vegan • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We hired Chef Adam to cook for our large dinner party, and he was absolutely amazing! He prepared a delicious three-course meal served family-style, and every dish was a hit. He was professional, easy to work with, and made the whole experience feel effortless. After serving such a great meal, he stayed to clean the entire kitchen. Every surface was spotless, and it looked better than when he arrived. We can’t wait to work with him again, and we highly recommend Chef Adam to anyone in the Greater Boston area looking for a talented, friendly, and reliable chef.

We can’t thank Adam enough for such a great experience. He was responsive and easy to work with, the menu was exciting and had something for everybody. He and Kevin were blast in the kitchen. The food was incredible, everyone was beyond full and satisfied. From apps to dessert, the table setting, service, and clean up, we couldn’t have asked for more. Can’t recommend Adam enough!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We have various menus from passed apps, in home dining.
Once on site the day of the job I charge $200 labor at a minimum of 5 hours for any additional cooks with parties of 8-10 or more. Family Style gig's are slightly easier than our Prex Five one's, which require chef to have a set of hands. Those involve allot of moving parts to ensure that the night is fun, entertaining and interactive.
Servers are a flat $200 per person for the night. These consist of both current industry and industry veterans who are well groomed with perfect finesse.
All of this is negligible 100% and I want people to feel extra important.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It all starts with us connecting and speaking about your beautiful event. Several steps will be made to ensure you’re comfortable with hiring me at my rates. We usually either come to an agreement or if you need more validation, we can set up a tasting.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I worked at every chain restaurant in Massachusetts from the age of 15-21 years old when I started Newbury College. After a semester I graduated from California Culinary School in San Francisco.
