Chef Dread was incredible. He prepared a meal for the first night of our annual family trip to New Hampshire. He was very communicative throughout the process as well as flexible when we had some last minute changes. He provided a fantastic menu for us. On the actual night, he did a great job of providing an elevated experience and sharing insights about the food, while also letting us enjoy our time together. We have had private chefs before, but Chef Dread's meal felt like more of an experience - a private tasting menu/experience as opposed to simply preparing a meal. We all absolutely loved the food. We would definitely hire Chef Dread again and HIGHLY recommend him.

Details: Regular meal • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Standard (basic ingredients) • American - casual • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

My family looked to hire a private chef to cook for us for my dad’s 70th birthday. Chef Dread helped us prepare a custom meal that really wowed us with all the flavors he incorporated. He was incredibly responsive and overall easy to communicate with. He has great energy and my family and him got along well. If there’s another similar event that we’re looking to hire someone, we’ll be sure to reach out to Chef Dread again. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Dessert • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Southern • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Asian • French • Barbecue • Indian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
