Everything was amazing. Gary was very professional, everything he cooked was delicious, and it was so nice to at the end of the party come in and the kitchen be cleaner than it was when he got there. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anybody looking for a great experience.

Chef Gary was great. He prepared meals for me weekly and everything looked, smelled, and tasted great. He took into consideration my dietary requirements and always made it work. Unfortunately the travel distance between he and I did not work out long term, but I would hire Gary again in a heartbeat.

My husband and I hired chef Gary for a romantic dinner for two and the food was spectacular! More reasonably priced than many others and quality second to none. I will definitely recommend and use Gary for future parties and events.
