What a wonderful evening and perfectly executed dinner prepared by Chef Ryan! It was an evening of great conversation with longtime friends which had been planned well in advance and kept secret until the day of the event. With everyone dressed to the nines, the hostesses informed the ladies to kick their shoes off and prepare for an evening of lavish flavors. The ladies were WOWED over the night’s festivities! And the meal, awesome! They loved how the menu Chef Ryan had created fused the essences and exploded on the palate. Every course was delicious and the presentation was 5 star stellar! Not only will we have Chef Ryan come back, but we highly recommend his service to those who appreciate outstanding professionalism and care of food preparation. Hats off to you, Chef Ryan!

Working with Ryan was an absolute dream! He was not only incredibly responsive from the beginning but he offered opinions to make our event better and then exceeded all of our expectations. He was right in time, created the most amazing spread (everyone still talks about it) and he brought/partnered with an amazing bartender to serve drinks as well. I wish he lived in Denver so I could hire him all of the time but look forward to hopefully working with him again in the future. Don’t hesitate - hire Ryan!!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Premium (high end ingredients) • Cold beverages (alcoholic) • Dessert • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal delivered • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Ryan helped us celebrate an 80th birthday party. The food was delicious but he went above and beyond with our many dietary needs. We got a gourmet meal at a leisurely pace. Everyone agrees that we should honor all big celebrations this way and Chef Ryan would be our first choice.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
As a default - I’m probably not the cheapest and prefer working with high-end ingredients. . . But I am also very proficient in budget planning and have had tons of experience creatively bridging the gaps between what my clients would like and what their budgets will allow. I will always give you a straight and honest answer. Just ask!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to get to know as much as possible about my clients. What they prefer, but more importantly what they do not care for. I really like repeat clients with whom I know preferences well. I always want to create an experience that will not be forgotten
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been in this industry for 31 years
