Chef Dan cooked for us on Christmas Day, and was fantastic to work with with. His food was incredible, he's so nice and he handled all of the shopping and cooking. We can't wait to use him again!

What a fun evening! Chef Daniel made my birthday extra special! The food was extraordinary. I think it was a great value vs. going to an upscale restaurant. The food was prepared to our specs and we ended the evening with a clean kitchen! We will definitely be repeat clients.

Daniel was our chef for a bachelorette weekend in Wimberly, TX. We rented a house there. He made it so easy to enjoy a nice dinner out without leaving the house. His charcuterie board was AMAZING! And dinner to follow was top notch! I would definitely use him again. He was such a pleasure to work with!

Chef Dan was amazing! I requested his service for my wife’s birthday and we had an amazing day! He worked with me from the start to figure out the perfect menu and we loved each and every course! The food was delicious!! He also went above and beyond to figure out the serve ware that would be visually appealing for each course and even went so far as to purchase all of that for me! Would definitely work with him again!

Chef Dan did an excellent preparing dinner for our small wedding. There were only 10 people, some with specific diet restrictions, and he did a great job of accommodating our requests. He had great communication from the initial conversation on our menu options through the day-of. His work was exceptional in taste and visual. We received multiple compliments from our guests on the quality of the food. I would highly recommend Dan for any event!
