Hired on Thumbtack

In late 2024 I was looking for a Christmas gift for my parents who are hard to buy for. I thought it would be great to get them an in-home chef for an evening for 6 people. Luckily, they invited me and our whole family and we ended up having 9 people total this past Sunday in October 2025. Ryan and his server Olivia showed up to my parent’s early to setup and prep everything. The dinner chef Ryan had prepared for us was an incredible 4-course meal that was so delicious - not only the taste but also the presentation. Everyone loved every course. He came out to explain and serve each course and was very friendly and approachable. The extra bonus was that everything was cleaned up so my parents didn’t have to lift a finger. Will definitely use Ryan again in the future! (Not pictured: the delicious pecan pie with cream)

Ryan was absolutely incredible!!! We will be hiring him again in the future and we look forward to that time already. I hired Ryan to do a private dinner party for my husband’s 40th birthday. He prepared 3 delicious courses for a group of our friends and he did not disappoint. He was excellent to communicate with leading up to the event, he was willing to accommodate food allergies without issue and he was great to interact with throughout the evening. There were so many personalized details where he truly went above and beyond to focus on providing an experience we wouldn’t forget. If you’re on the fence about hiring Chef Ryan, just do it!! It was a wonderful experience and we are grateful for the memories.

Ryan, Olivia, and Jenna were absolute professionals and so accommodating with everything we requested. The curated drinks were delicious, the charcuterie board had the best meats and cheeses and the special honey- wow!! Everyone was impressed with Ryan’s ability to come into a kitchen with no knowledge of anything and pull off a 5 star meal. They left everything cleaner than when they arrived. I would absolutely recommend Chef Ryan!!
